I sometimes equate these extremist groups to terrorists, since they often talk about achieving their goals through less-than-non-violent means. There will be equality of the genders within our lifetime, but it will involve the rest of the baby boomers retiring and leaving things to a younger generation that has grown up with both sexes being given the same opportunities. I'll look forward to this just as much as many women, as my wife works incredibly hard but is paid only 80% of her male counterparts. If she were paid based on her actual value, the company would likely have to let her go, since a doubling of her salary would be "out of the question" :???: Only twenty years to go, right?
