women today, in the United States of America, are oppressed? not really. More women graduate from high school. more women go to college. more women graduate from college. more women go to medical school, more women go to law school. MBAs and science degrees are split 50/50.

yes, it sucks to be poor and female, but it also sucks to be poor and male in this country. There may be localised areas of oppression, I'm sure there are, but for the most part? not much of it. I frankly don't find the idea of a female astronaut more impressive than a male astronaut. that's all.
