This article is about a girl who is trying to boycott the sales of girl scout cookies because a transgendered seven year old was allowed into the girl scouts. It brings up the argument of whether or not a person should be allowed to join an entirely female organization just because she identifies as female.

This article is about the vast difference in income between men and women. The article gives specific examples of how men in the same position as a women receive substantially more. It is said that women earn $.78 for every $1.00 that a man earns for the same job. Even worse, a women higher up earns only $.33 for every $1.00 a man with the same position.

This article discusses how enethough women are closing in on the income gap between men and women there is still a 25% difference.

A proposed new law in Arizona would give employers the power to request that women being prescribed birth control pills provide proof that they're using it for non-sexual reasons. And because Arizona's an at-will employment state, that means that bosses critical of their female employees' sex lives could fire them as a result. I like that this article gets down to the nit and grit of what an outlandish claim everyone is making against birth control. This article is explaining how invasive this policy is to allow employers to decide on whether to provide insurance for birth control.

This proposed bill actually says that an employer can ask to see a doctors note saying that the woman is perscribed birth control, but has to be for other reasons than not wanting to get pregnant.

This article talks about how marriage is the foundation of human civilization and the effects of redefining marriage. Forty-one states agree that marriage is between a man and a woman and children need a mother and a father.

My personal belief is that marriage is to be between a man and a woman, however, I also believe that is it not my place to judge anyone. Who am I to tell someone who to love? These days marriages that last are rare. If a same sex couple love each other and are happy together, I think they should be able to be married. There are a lot of same sex couple who have lived together as couple for a lot longer than most marriages last.

When I read "The nine justices are considering challenges to state and federal laws defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The two cases before it provide an important opportunity for Americans to reflect on three questions: What is marriage? Why does it matter for public policy? And what are the consequences of redefining marriage?" it blew my mind a little, because it is challenging every American to think about marriage. Not just as a sex (male or Female) thing but as a whole.
