Suze Orman and her queer peers may not be suffering, but apparently mothers are:
Mothers with young children are the section of society who are most discriminated against when it comes to getting jobs, a new survey has found.
A comprehensive study by the Government’s new equalities super-body shows that women with children under 11 are 45 per cent less likely to be employed than a man.
Well, that’s that. No more gays rights, kids. There are bigger fish to fry.

Well it makes sense in a sexist world. Seeing that there are way more mothers with children under 11 in the world than gay people, it would do some good to focus on raising that bar of equality. To become strong allies with working mums in this country is really win win. I really don’t understand why gay guys don’t fight the fight for women’s rights more. To me it seems that the GLB community is more parallel to the discrimination women have occurred than to black people. Sure we are beaten, killed, ignored, and all that wonderful stuff due to peoples disgust of part of who we are, but it basically comes down to our genitals and our thought processes. How many women through time have endured the same thing- not because of their skin color, but because of their genitals and their thoughts? So yeah we should fight for the equality of women too. They are more than a hag to pal around with.

Analysis of that statistic makes no sense. Of course women with children under age 11 are less likely to be empolyed because many choose to stay at home. The logic that unemployment directly parallels discrimination is faulty unless all those women with children are seeking employment.

Agreed, jackmax. That’s comparing apples to vaginas. What kind of spin control are you running today, guys? The whole article sounds like a cover for some ex-gay ministry shitlicks. It’d be a little too brilliant for Jerry Falwell, but then again, what isn’t?
