Feminism, Women in the Workplace, and the Poverty It Created A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after. - Gloria Steinheim The Princeton Language Institute. 21st Century Dictionary of Quotations. New York, Bantam Doubleday Dell, 1993 Married Women Entering the Workplace Reduced the Spending Power of All Salaries Year194019502003 --- Men that Worked 39,496,563 40,174,705 77,714,187 Women that Worked 12,654,256 15,559,454 66,341,379 Number of Workers 52,150,819 55,734,159 144,055,566 Total Population130,962,661 149,895,183 291,500,000 # people per income 2.512.692.02 Avg.

Due to the change in ratio of workers to non-workers in the US since 1950, the average value of salaries has decreased substantially. Married Women Entering the Workplace Widened the Disparity in Salaries The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. - Proverb Women in 1960 made roughly 59% of what men made. Today they make roughly 79%. This sounds better but still bad. But, only when one does not realize that all women work today...even the married ones. SINGLE FATHER HOUSEHOLD - Then (1960) - Family Single Parent - Father = 100% salarySingle Father = 100% salary Mother = No salary - Disparity = 0% SINGLE MOTHER HOUSEHOLD - Then (1960) - Family Single Parent - Man = 100% salary Single Mother = 59% salary Woman = No salary - Disparity = 41% SINGLE FATHER HOUSEHOLD - Now (2004) - Family Single Parent - Father = 100% salarySingle Father = 100% salary Mother = 79% salary - Disparity = 44% SINGLE MOTHER HOUSEHOLD - Now (2004) - Family Single Parent - Man = 100% salary Single Mother = 79% salary Woman = 79% salary - Disparity = 56% It was once bad for women to make only 59% of what men make. It is even worse now when single mothers make only 41% of the average two income household. Putting this in terms of dollars (Assuming a $20,000 salary for the men in each instance).

Feedback Please - - - - - 5. Abortion Has the drift from Judeo/Christian morality towards Nihilism resulted in death and other loss of life? Here are some statistics regarding only abortion: Each year there are 1.3 million abortions in the US. There have been over 40 million abortions since Roe vs Wade in the US alone.

This is a difference of 12%. Each year, an estimated 46 million abortions occur worldwide.
