All women are equal, but some women are more equal than others

Hats off to George Jonas for this in today’s Ottawa Citizen.

The suggestion that America, or western societies in general, are still patriarchal is a state of mind. Evidence that in key professions — law, medicine — where female graduates now either match or outnumber males, won’t make a dent in it.

He goes on to discuss how evidence will not sway equality commissions, convinced of glass ceilings and a pervasive conspiracy attacking women. However, the problem may yet be inequality — between women. With apologies to George Orwell, some women are indeed more equal than others. Would the representative on the equality commission who represents pro-life women please raise her hand?   Right, I didn’t think so. I’ll keep waiting.
