I Believe Very Strongly In Paid Sick

The Original Feminists Wanted Two Things. They Wanted The Right To Vote, From Which We Could Work To Get More Equality. And We Have Made Progress. We Did Pass The Anti-discrimination Law, Title 7, Title 9, Equality In The Workplace, Equality In Education And In Sports And In All These Other Areas. But Enforcement Is Very Hard. Changing Stereotypes Is Very Hard.

I Was Proud To Be An Original Cosponsor Of The Violence Against Women Act When Congress Passed It In 1994, And Was Proud To Support The Previous Renewals In 2000 And 2005. These Bills Always Enjoyed Large, Bipartisan Support.

I Think That Changing Stereotypes And Attitudes, It Takes Time. As We Progress And We Have More Women Astronauts And More Women In Construction Sites And Everything Else, Then We're Making Progress. Discrimination Is Deeply Embedded In Our Community, But We Do Have The Tools To Combat It.

While Men's Rights Are Guaranteed By Specific Language In The Constitution, Women's Equal Rights Aren't Mentioned.

More Women Are Working Because They Have To, That's What It Takes To Put The Food On The Table And Pay The Rent. And Yet We Have Not Changed Our Policies To Support The Family. The Right Wing Goes To The Floor, And They Did When They Were In Power, And Talk About Family Values. Well, Where Are They? Family Values Is Support For Child Care. Family Values Is Equal Pay For Equal Work So That Women Are Paid Appropriately.
