Wars aren't always fought with guns.
They are fought with attempts to control.
IF you haven't been paying attention--and somehow I think you probably have not--but the professions that have historically been "women's" professions--teaching, nursing, etc. have been under non-stop attack by the RW.
The right to control our bodies by way of birth control is one of the latest attacks. Attacks on Planned Parenthood are just one example, attacks on Sandra Fluke are just another.
So..."you" may not think that there is a war underway--but I am guessing that YOU have the luxury of having a name like HOMER...so that you might not understand the nuance of the attacks.
Let me put it as simply as I can. "Male" jobs are going away and they aren't coming back so the eyes are going to the "female" jobs. Now, it would be difficult to just walk in and fire the women and replace them with men....so you just can't do that. No...instead, we are reverting back to a mindset of "barefoot and pregnant" in the kitchen. IF that can be accomplished, then women certainly will be leaving their jobs in troves.
Do you get it now?
