- It's not quite that simple. Did you catch the thread about bathroom
- facilities? It seems that equal -usage- requires that the womens room
- have more facilities. Maternity leave, men and women have quite
- different requirements here, for reasons of basic biology. There are
- so many exceptions (legal and otherwise) that "equal treatment" is
- a misnomer.
-
- And as an aside, we seem to have a male (presumably a feminist) speaking
- for all feminists. Can I see some authentication that you do indeed
- speak for "all feminists out there"?
