SISTERS UNITE!
Sexism still exists

From the AP via the Houston Chronicle:

Women's income is lower on average than for men in part because they generally work less and leave the labor force for longer periods, a study found.

But even after adjustments are made for those factors, women still earned 20.3 percent less than men in 2000, investigators said Thursday.

The General Accounting Office conducted the earnings study for Democratic Reps. Carolyn Maloney of New York and John Dingell of Michigan.

The 20 percent gap has been relatively unchanged in the past two decades. The difference was 19.6 percent in 1983.

These are hard numbers that irrefutably show that discrimination against women still exists, still has tangible negative effects, and still keeps women in both an economic and a social position of inferiority. White male bitching about "reverse-discrimination" is bullshit. Feminism needs a shot in the arm.
