Young, pretty women get a lot of attention, but not much respect.
Women who have kids are bad mothers. It doesnt matter what they do or don't do, someone will pass negative judgement on their parenting.
Working women who want respect, recognition, and reward for their accomplishments and contributions in the workplace are pushy bitches.
And old women, ugly women, disabled women, and fat women are either ridiculed and hassled or invisible and ignored.
I think old men, ugly men, disabled men, and possibly some fat men [more into the morbidly obese range than just plain 'fat'] are probably also treated this way. So...the only way to be equal (and it's not a nice equal, it's a nasty equal) is to be old, ugly, disabled, or fat. Why am I thinking of that Kurt Vonnegut story?
