The backlash against women's equality is still with us. In some instances it has just gone underground, and the attacks have become more sophisticated. They chip away a woman's right to an abortion. They talk about overturning Roe v Wade. We have no equal rights amendment, a simple statement that says women and men are equal under the law.
Welfare mothers are still society's scapegoats.
Although Congressmen speak eloquently about their love for the unborn, they do not, apparently, care for that child once it is born. As a sop, some men offer women the Promise Keepers. The Baptist Church tells women openly that man is head of the house, and she is second to him. And the Baptist women swallow and take it. After all, God's representative has spoken.
