did anyone think the women in the original 'survey'

didn't know they could say they weren't happy OR they outright lied OR the questions were skewed? who took and where is this survey (or whatever the hell it is) from the 60s????????????

when we are told we can now DO all sorts of things (like being given permission by your father i guess), like leave abusive marriages and sue sexist employers and get equal pay.....i say, so YOU say. it's just as hard NOW to leave an abusive marriage than it was in the 50s. it's not very easy to sue a sexist employer. ask lilly ledbetter how easy it was to sue goodyear. ask women if they're getting paid equally (to men who do the same jobs). well most of them may not know it because salaries are usually not put out for all to know, BUT THE ANSWER IS NO. WOMEN IN A LOT OF CASES DO NOT GET PAID EQUALLY TO MEN WHO DO THE SAME JOBS.

yeah, we're fucking pissed all right. wouldn't YOU be?
