[quote=Anonymous]Just how are women discriminated against?  If you claim they are, there are measures one can take to fight the discrimination. We do have laws on the books against the discrimination of women.  If you really want to fight for equal rights for women, you might want to head to UAB, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or any one of the other plethora of countries who have given millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation and you have demonstrated poor treatment of women.
