Nothing is fair in this world. You might as well get that straight right now
Sue Monk Kidd

Sounds reasonable.  Pay men & women equally?  Isn’t there and equal pay act and a civil rights act already?  It’s more complicated though.  You can look at the background HERE.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2012, women who worked full time earned, on average, only 77 cents for every dollar men earned. The figures are even worse for women of color. African American women earned only approximately 64 cents and Latinas only 54 cents for each dollar earned by a white male.

The Paycheck Fairness Act will help secure equal pay for equal work for all Americans. The bill would update the Equal Pay Act of 1963, a law that has not been able to achieve its promise of closing the wage gap because of limited enforcement tools and inadequate remedies. The Paycheck Fairness Act would make critical changes to the law, including:

  • requiring employers to demonstrate that wage differentials are based on factors other than sex;
  • prohibiting retaliation against workers who inquire about their employers’ wage practices or disclose their own wages;
  • permitting reasonable comparisons between employees within clearly defined geographical areas to determine fair wages;
  • strengthening penalties for equal pay violations;
  • directing the Department of Labor to assist employers and collect wage-related data; and
  • authorizing additional training for Equal Employment Opportunity Commission staff to better identify and handle wage disputes.

The time has come to make equal pay a reality. During this climate of unprecedented economic uncertainty, nothing could be more important than ensuring that all workers receive equal pay for equal work.

It takes true courage to be a dove, but no honor accrues to being an ostrich

A man has claimed that killing his pregnant teenage sister was an honor crime (murdering a woman that shamed her family).

Later, LBCI television reported that the investigation revealed that he had raped his sister, which lead to her pregnancy.

“He confessed to raping his sister,” LBCI said, apparently Jihad was drunk when the incident happened.

He had recently found out that she was pregnant and asked her to have an abortion - refused.

Note from last summer: A recent study done by the Gaza-based Palestinian Women’s Information and Media Center found that 67 percent of Palestinian women reported being subjected to verbal violence on a regular basis, 71 percent to psychological violence, 52 percent to physical violence and 14 percent to sexual violence.  frontpagemag.com

Lay aside the thirst for honor from others and seek to honor others instead
