Last week I found this older item in the BBC news. I had thought to do a little post around it. I would ask, what is religion, and how is it defined? Is it defined as Abrahamic, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Iranian, Kurdish, Western, Folk or Far Eastern? Or do we take the religious edifice we have constructed, break it into shards, pick up one to admire and kick at the rest?

The Debate Room over at BusinessWeek has posted this debate topic:
Low-Income Women: Get Married
-Update-
Someone over at NewsWeek finally did publish my comment, so I am removing it here. However, it’s still worth a look to SEE what was posted in their “Debate Room” this week, suggesting that low-income women should get married as a way out of poverty.
What do you think?
Remembering Seneca Falls

Note-Violet over at the Reclusive Leftist had a great blog today and her redesigned site looks great!
Take a look and be sure and check out her link on Jimmy Carter’s comments about women and and religion there or HERE. It turns out to be a riff off the “Sentiments” Below.
Of course, you know that today is the 161st anniversary of the First Woman’s Rights Convention, don’t you?
Out of this convention was produced the “Declaration of Sentiments”, and a myriad other events which propelled women’s rights forward. Even though we sometimes might think we will break from the load of injustice we see and experience, some goals have been achieved.
Click the link above and review. How many sentiments do you think have been met so far?
The National Woman’s Hall of Fame In Seneca Falls Is putting on a celebration of the event. Can you make it?
No Volleyball?

This announcement strikes close to home. It is a good reminder of why, even though Title IX was a leap forward for women, women’s rights are still vulnerable. This is especially true in these times of financial stress. Women, and the men who support them, must be vigilant that cirriculum cuts if required, are evenhanded.

Quinnipiac University Sued for Title IX Violation
by Kolbe Franklin, Program Assistant,
National Women’s Law Center
In a recent suit in federal court, the members of the female volleyball team at Quinnipiac University, along with their coach, have charged the University with violating Title IX based on its decision to eliminate the sport. With support from the Connecticut chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the suit claims that the University has continually failed to provide equal athletic opportunity for its female students and that the recent decision to eliminate volleyball has further exacerbated the problem. Despite comprising 62 percent of the student body, women have historically received only around half of all athletic resources.

Imagine, if instead, the ERA were ratified and women’s rights were guaranteed by the Constitution!
