One mistake. I beleive you meant the word write insted of right in this particular sentence.

“Beetlejuice didn’t right the mission statement of NOW.”

I think their goal statement may have been written by a man, maybe a gay friend of one of the participants who tagged along because he had absolutely nothing better to do at all and maybe there was some free food to be had. He was sickened, as any man would, by all the bitching and nattering and told them to take a break. I think he even may have, probably as a male prank, left us all a little clue.

Take another close look:

sharing equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities with men

He put in “responsibilities” just to let us know that the girls didn’t, indeed couldn’t, write this screed.

Also, it’s not 6,000 words long, which is another dead giveaway!

Thanks for that info but those us south of the mason-dixon line don’t like to be called yankees.
Lol

I offer my sincere apologies, I had no idea that the word had any other connotations. I am not from the USA, and I know there is a baseball team in New York that goes by that name.

Oh, that line you had about crazy foreigners, I didn’t think it was cool.
Sorry maybe it was a bit harsh. But those Arabs were bad sports.
I gave up football(soccer) because of their unsportsmanlike conduct.

As usual for an organization like NOW, a bit of an own goal.

For our American brothers, an ‘own goal’ is a term used in REAL football (what yankees call soccer) where a team scores the ball in the wrong goal. Scoring an ‘own goal’ is usually done inadvertently, but it gives the other team a point.

Btw I played real football until those crazy Foreigners(Arabs/Mesicans) took it over. They have terrible manners. When I found myself wanting to fight the entire opposing team I decided it was time for me to quit.

You had to meet with those hags? Pity you. I hope you stirred them in some way.

A (two dollar) minimum wage increase would do more harm to women than an organization run by fucking women could ever understand.

Actually, I would prefer the old “women make less than men” canard.

That way women will have full employment, as business will hire only women, pay them less, and put the competition out to pasture.

So, why has this not happened? Because they don’t make less than men! As far as the minimuim wage, of course it will cause more unemployment, as several preceeding me point out.

“Our purpose is to take action to bring women into full participation in society – sharing equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities with men, while living free from discrimination.�?

Actually the mission statement as written sounds like a noble goal. Regardless of who is better than who, (someone should start a website where people could hash that question out) for a person to be considered property or chattel is probably not ideal.

The problem I have with the stated mission statement is that NOW is heavy on the rights and opportunities but a touch lite on the responsibilities.

Increase the minimum wage? Don’t even get me started. How is this sharing in the “responsibilites?”

This leads to the next question. Given the mission statement, how do they define success? At what point can they say, “we have succeeded in our goals.”

If a company makes a profit hiring someone at $7/hr, but loses money paying them $9/hr, then either the job or the company is going to disappear once the managers and shareholders (often pensioners and retirees, many of them women!) are tired of subsidizing failure.

And company today are forced to hire women knowing that won’t get there money’s worth out of them. Men are forced to pick up the slack at the same pay as the deadweight.
