Attack on Women at Indian Bar Intensifies Clash of Cultures
The push for women to be the masters of their own lives continues in India. There are some who would love for women to hide in their homes and continue the domesticated slavery that has been the norm for thousands of years. But women are fighting such nonsense tooth and nail.

As Layoffs Surge, Women May Pass Men in Job Force
I was just browsing a book entitled, “The Coming Matriarchy” (published in 1981) yesterday and pondering the idea of whether it was possible for women to outnumber men in the workforce. A New York Times article this morning seems to lend fresh credence to this notion.
It cannot be too much of a shock since women have been outnumbering men in attendance at higher educational institutions for a few years now. And now it seems the men are the ones most likely to lose their jobs in this new economic situation.
Let me know what you think about this new development after you read the article.

Equal Opportunity Catastrophe Makers
When I saw a CNN report on the joint press conference with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, my first thought was, “Hey, its two ladies talking about important stuff – like peace treaties.”
I didn’t even get the whole gist of the news report because I was too excited about seeing two women speaking on the world stage on behalf of millions of humans. After centuries, nay – millennia, of male rule, it is nice to see some feminine leadership at such political heights.
I doubt that I would agree with very much of Condi’s political views, but it is good to see that women have just as much opportunity to mess up the world as men. Although it was a queer change – seeing these two women talking about something on international television besides fashion or diapers – it is a welcome change. A very welcome change.
