I'm probably committing social suicide by dedicating a whole topic to women's issues on an otherwise all-male board, but oh well.
The right of women to vote was enshrined in the U.S. Constitution a century ago this year. (Specifically as of August 26th.) A century later, 64% of American women believe the U.S. hasn't gone far enough in the way of securing equal rights for women and 61% describe themselves as feminists. What's more, about half of American men seem to agree with the first view (as you can see at the first link.)
A majority of both women and men who believe that more needs to be done to advance equal treatment for women identify the following items as major obstacles thereto:
-Sexual harassment.
-Unequal legal rights.
-Different expectations society has for women and men.
-Not enough women in positions of power.
-Additionally, nearly half of women also identify family responsibilities as a major obstacle.
Overwhelming majorities of both women and men (82% of 73% respectively) today favor ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning discrimination on the basis of sex.
(See the first link above for this data and more.)
So what say you? Are women here in the U.S. or wherever you live treated equally in your view? Is there more work to do? Or...*sighs*...as I suspect may be a common opinion here on a practically all-male forum...is it your view that women are really just generally lazier, treated better than men, and simply too sensitive?
Let's see if we can have a productive discussion of this topic. Probably not (another thread of mine that's almost certain to get closed 
), but just thought I'd try and see if we could get somewhere. Just in case I wasn't controversial enough already!
