I know a lot of men who get things done and a lot of women who talk too much about doing what should be done! but still, great quote. thanks for sharing, Daniel

Thanks Maureen — for visiting my blog and for sharing your thoughts. It was a VERY fun and interesting discussion. Sometimes those things can be a bit “stuffy” but the panelists and the moderator were so relaxed and humorous. It is sad, though, in a way — a lot of women (and men) don’t know how many inequities still exist. Viagra, for example, is a paid health care expense by most plans, but birth control pills (and other bc options) are not covered under most plans. Isn’t that crazy?

Loved reading about the above seminar and wish I had been there! I embrace the feminist label though most of my peers do not. That might have something to do with why there isn’t equal pay YET. Also might account for inadequate insurance coverage and availability of birth control and preventive health care for women, little support in the workplace for families/children, inadequate early childcare and school hours not coordinating with work hours when at least 70% of mothers work outside the home, and recent attempts by newly elected officials to take even more of all the above away. Sad.
