Rosie the Riveter was a familiar poster during World War II. Women were a necessary part of the wartime labor force. With most of the men on the battlefield, it was up to the women who were left behind to man the assembly lines, put together the tanks, pack the ammunition and assemble the airplanes.

Women have been very productive members of the labor pool. It took some time for the wages to level off so that the women were being paid the same amount of wages as the men doing the same jobs. Then there was the deal with the glass ceiling. Not very many women achieved CEO status immediately after the war. They labored and worked and negotiated with the powers that be. Today, there are more women executives than there are men.

And that is a good thing.

Then there are those women who can't seem to get along with anybody. They want total equality no matter the cost. Some even want to be ordained priests in the Catholic Church. The last pope, John Paul II was at a loss as to what to tell these ambitious women. There seemed to be no convincing them that the priesthood was instituted by Jesus Christ for men. The women certainly have very important functions to fulfill, but priesthood is not one of them.

Then they demanded to serve in combatant vessels. The Navy relented and began to assign women on board men of war. Sorry guys but these women need special quarters of their own. Why, they go through different biological cycles than you guys. And oh by the way, they cannot lift those bombs and fasten them underneath the aircraft wings. You guys will have to do that sort of thing. So much for equality.

Add to that the black women who claimed that America was a very hard and mean country. That for the first time in their adult lifetime they are proud to be called Americans. Imagine that. And yet, the march goes on. They can kill their unborn babies, fathers of babies don't have any say about that. That is their God given right - to murder their own unborn child. Imagine that.

Then there are those women who are right all the time. No matter what. They are so pure, so chaste and so innocent that they are beyond being questioned. No matter what they do cannot be doubted. They are right all the time.

When they say that what they are doing is for the best, then what they are doing is for the best. They are beyond reproach and beyond question. If you question them and their decisions then you must be a woman hater or some kind of ignoramus. Don't you have any respect for these intelligent women even though they are a product of somebody's imagination and are not so real after all?

Look at this mechanized piece of work. Is this the kind of woman whose influence we want to expose our children t0?
