		<description><![CDATA[I’ve had a couple of days to watch the craziness that erupted after Democratic pundit Hilary Rosen said of Ann Romney on CNN, “She never worked a day in her life.”  Rosen, who has since apologized, was reacting to Governor Mitt Romney positioning his wife as his advisor on all-things-women including their views on the economy. In recent days Romney has told reporters, “My wife has the occasion, as you know, to campaign on her own and also with me and she reports to me regularly that the issue women care about most is the economy.” Well, golly, Mr. Governor! Of course we care about the economy. Even Governor Haley could have told you that. Of course Haley got it wrong when she said, “Women don’t care about contraception. They care about jobs and their families.” First of all, contraception and jobs are interrelated. And second, women are capable of caring about multiple topics at once. But as long as candidates view women as a special interest voting bloc, as opposed to half of the people in this country, they will continue to get it wrong when it comes to the “woman vote.” But women and the economy isn’t the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you know why women earn less than men? According to Senator Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, this week&#8217;s Ignorant Legislator recipient, money isn&#8217;t as important to us as it is to men. Grothman told The Daily Beast&#8216;s Michelle Goldberg, &#8220;You could argue that money is more important for men. I think a guy in their first job, maybe because they expect to be a breadwinner someday, may be a little more money-conscious. To attribute everything to a so-called bias in the workplace is just not true.” And to attribute it to an outdated and sexist idea, Senator, is just not rational. According to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic data, approximately 40 percent of working wives out earn their husbands. Grothman told Goldberg the gender wage gap was caused by women&#8217;s decisions to &#8220;prioritize childrearing over their careers,&#8221; and that the hypothetical working wife is “not go go go.&#8221; Grothman clearly hasn&#8217;t seen the time use data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics either. If he had, he might know, women, on average, do more household chores than men. This is a scenario that occurs regardless of work status. Of course, we wouldn&#8217;t expect Grothman to consider that lack of sick [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before we retreat for the weekend, a few updates on legislation affecting women, and a story of a news anchor crossing a line. After days of protests and outcry, we have some small victories to celebrate in Virginia. First, Governor Bob McDonnell said he would reconsider the bill requiring a woman to undergo an invasive ultrasound prior to obtaining an abortion. Then the Virginia Senate effectively killed the personhood amendment by sending it back to committee. We can&#8217;t forget of course, Texas has a similar ultrasound law and other states have introduced personhood bills. Women in Wisconsin earn, on average, just .75 cents for every dollar a man earns. Still, &#8220;the State Assembly voted Tuesday night to repeal the 2009 Equal Pay Enforcement Act.&#8221;  The Huffington Post captured the reaction of Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), &#8220;I&#8217;m very disappointed with the Wisconsin state legislature. Yet another big step back for women. This is becoming a real pattern.&#8221; Speaking of women and work, a FOX news anchor caused a minor uproar when he said he had a word that started with a &#8220;B&#8221; to describe NASCAR driver Danica Patrick.  He later apologized. But more concerning, frankly, were his comments that what&#8217;s &#8220;not attractive&#8221; about Patrick [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another year almost over, another few cents narrowing the wage gap. Here’s a look back at some of the stories that impacted or involved women in 2011: Reproductive rights under attack: Three days into the year we wrote, &#8220;Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio) will become Speaker of the House Wednesday and women should pay attention. &#8230; In fact, he represents a significant threat to women’s reproductive rights.&#8221; And indeed 2011 saw some of the most aggressive attacks on women&#8217;s reproductive health. Ashley Portero at the International Business Times has a round up of the staggering number measures related to reproductive health introduced in 2011 including: H.R. 3 with its disturbing &#8220;forcible rape&#8221;  language (as if all rape isn&#8217;t forcible?) H.R. 358, the Protect Life Act, or as some are called it, the Let Women Die Act. The Heartbeat Bill, which would ban abortions after the first detectable fetal heartbeat- before many women even know they are pregnant. Two fetuses were witnesses at an Ohio legislative committee contemplating this bill. And of course, the attack on Planned Parenthood. Rape and intimate partner violence a very real threat: Speaking of women&#8217;s health, in November the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released The National [...]]]></description>

And here are the gifts I would give: For Our Daughters: The gift of self-esteem and positive role models The mass media perpetuates a message that women and girls’ value comes from beauty and sexuality – and it affects us. Sixty-five percent of women and girls have an eating disorder. Eighty percent of the op-ed pages are dominated by men. The number of women in senior management positions globally has gone from 24 to 20 percent from 2004 to 2009. For Corporate America: More women in leadership positions There is a large, and growing, body of research connecting women at the tops of organizations to a strong bottom line performance. However, women comprise 53 percent of new hires, but only 37 percent of managers, 26 percent of vice-presidents, and just 14 percent of executive committees. &#160; For Working Mothers: Flexible work arrangements &#8230; and a day of rest The life of a working mother is challenging. Flexible work arrangements give parents the ability to work more flexibly and better manage the challenges of work and family.

		<description><![CDATA[Funeral services begin today for former First Lady Betty Ford who passed away Friday at the age of 93. Here are three ways we can honor Ford&#8217;s incredible legacy. 1. Support the Equal Rights Amendment. Ford was a supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. She marched and rallied in support of the amendment which still has not been ratified. The Equal Rights Amendment was written in 1923 and took 49 years to pass Congress but it was never ratified because not enough states supported it and Congress sets a time limit for ratification. Last month Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney and Senator Robert Menendez re-introduced the Equal Rights Amendment. As Maloney said in a press release, “The Equal Rights Amendment is still needed because the only way for women to achieve permanent equality in the U.S. is to write it into the constitution.  Making women’s equality a constitutional right—after Congress passes and 38 states ratify the ERA—would place the United States on record, albeit more than 200 years late, that women are fully equal in the eyes of the law.” Urge your representatives to support the bill. 2. Support the Paycheck Fairness Act. Ford was also a supporter of equal pay, an issue she [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, at my second job post-college, my friend and coworker asked me to share my salary. I said no, but she persisted. We were both about to have salary reviews and she argued we had no way to benchmark our raises if we had no idea what others in the firm were getting paid. It made sense, so we snuck into the stairwell of our office building to swap data in secrecy &#8211;we were under the impression we could be fired for sharing our pay. It turns out she was paid $1000 more annually than me. So while in reality our salaries were practically the same, at the time it seemed like a big deal. She gloated. I pouted. And I vowed never to share salary information again – nothing good could come from it. Not true. A new report from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) titled, “Pay Secrecy and Wage Discrimination,” discusses how pay transparency might reduce the gender wage gap. Today, women earn, on average, 23 percent less than men. And 40 percent of pay inequity can be attributed to pay discrimination.* But with approximately half of all workers in the United States contractually forbidden [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is Equal Pay Day&#8230;.again. Equal Pay Day is the day we note women earn less than men for similar work. The day is always observed on a Tuesday in April because women would need to work a week plus two more days, or a year plus three more months, to earn what men earn. According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, women earn, on average, just .78 cents for every dollar a man earns. And for women of color, the gap is much greater. The Equal Pay Act was signed in  1963 and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was signed in 2009. Clearly, they are not enough. If we don&#8217;t take action, the gap won&#8217;t close for thirty more years- and even then there are no guarantees. The good news today is that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand vowed to push for passage of  the Paycheck Fairness Act, along with Senator Mikulski. Gillibrand writes at the Huffington Post that the Paycheck Fairness Act, &#8220;would prohibit employers from retaliating against workers for sharing salary information with their co-workers. The legislation would also establish training groups to help women strengthen their negotiation skills, enforce equal pay laws for federal contractors, and require the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The class action gender discrimination suit against Walmart, which had been given a green light by a federal judge and a federal appeals court, could be losing steam in the Supreme Court. Lawyers for the plaintiffs must prove Walmart had an unlawful policy that led to the discrimination. The UPI explained the challenge they face in trying to prove the class has merit, “The basic claim in the suit is that Walmart maintains a common culture &#8212; &#8220;the Walmart Way&#8221; &#8212; to ensure uniformity in its 3,400 stores … but the corporate headquarters gives local store managers unlimited discretion to decide pay and promotions &#8212; resulting in lower pay and fewer promotions for women.” Many close to the case and present in the courtroom said the justices seem divided down gender lines with Justices Sotamayor, Ginsburg and Kagan revealing support for the case in their line of questioning. The St. Petersburg Times reported, “ Ginsburg, who made her legal reputation in sex-discrimination law, said WalMart&#8217;s experience shows how &#8220;gender bias can creep&#8221; into the workplace. It isn&#8217;t &#8220;at all complicated,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Most people prefer themselves. And so a decisionmaker, all other things being equal, would prefer someone who looked like him.&#8221; The case [...]]]></description>
