Bay of Fundie: Do you want trannies teaching your kids?

Where do the right wing get this stuff

The Traditional Values Coalition website posted an article “Do you want men dressed as women teaching your kids?”

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a proposed bill in the United States Congress that would prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity by civilian, nonreligious employers with at least 15 employees. This bill has been around since 1994.

WIN: Attacks on Social Security will hit women especially hard

12/30/2010

Women will be especially hard hit if Congress approves any cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Doug Cunningham reports.

The National Organization for Women President Terry O’Neill says because women are at a disadvantage when it comes to pensions, they will suffer more than men from any social security cuts.

O’Neill: These proposals to cut social security really will push hundreds of thousands of women - middle-class women - into poverty.

Women are almost twice as likely as men not to have pensions in their retirement. Why is that? Well, because they’re far more likely than men not to work in union jobs. And union jobs are very much jobs that provide pensions.

The gender pay gap also adds up to disproportionate pain for women as they retire.


O'Neill: Women are also far more likely than men to head into their retirement years without savings. When you work a lifetime with unequal pay you have a hard time socking away money for your own retirement.

Corporate tax rates have actually gone down as well. So the blueprint talks about ways to get our tax system back in balance and more fair.

UN Economic Forum: Does the US have a Gender Gap?

The right wing likes to tell Americans we have the best health care system in the world, we are happiest nation in the world, we have the highest per capita and we are number one in gender equality.

Actually we are 37th in the world in health care according the WHO, Denmark is the happiest nation in the world, the Swiss have the highest per capita and we are 17th in the gender gap. The right has been lying though its teeth about where America fits in internationally.

The nations that usually are tops in the rankings are the Scandinavian and other European countries that have robust social systems that does a better job of caring for its citizens. This is why Europeans live longer and are taller than Americans.

The US can do better. The US women really are not doing well in economic opportunity and health and well being. To see how the US shapes up in gender equality:
