Times Union: (Blogging opportunity) Amy Rankin: War on women shows we have to be vigilant

If you blog on the Times Union, here is a grand opportunity.  Some of the comments have already been debunked, but I am sure some of you could blow a few more holes in this ladies liberal stance on the non war on women!

As you can tell by my picture I'm a woman of a certain age. I was born in the  1950s and back then things were different.

Women were offered few career choices: teacher, nurse, secretary or  stay-at-home mom. I attended a state university, Rutgers, where women were  admitted to a special college, Douglass. The dormitories at Douglass were houses  because the trustees felt that a women's college would fail so they needed  marketable real estate.

But I had parents who told me I could be whatever I wanted to be if I worked  hard. So, I was the first woman to invade the Rutgers Stadium press box where  the press passes used to say "no women and children allowed" as the first female  intern in the Sports Information Department.

I graduated and went on to a career in sports public relations with the World  Football League, North American Soccer League player agent Donald Dell, and the  Jacksonville Tea Men soccer team. So I'm somewhat dismayed about returning women  to the world of June Cleaver in an apron and pearls.

Women of my age who grew up during the heyday of feminism with such iconic  figures as Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, and Shirley Chisholm believed we had  turned a corner. Our female children would not have to face discrimination and  our male children would be allowed new freedoms that come when everyone can  pursue their dreams.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
