A womens group fired the first legal salvo against the Bush administration's marriage-promotion agenda yesterday, filing a civil rights complaint that a government-funded program discriminates against women.

The NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund charged that a pro-marriage program, the Family Formation and Development Project in Allentown, Pa., provides employment services to males only. That constitutes a violation of Title IX, the group claims, because the law prohibits discrimination based on gender in any government-funded program.

Yea, such a terrible thing to promote marriage to low-income individuals so they can become self sufficent, working and productive citizens where thier children can grow up in a proper environment with a father and mother.

money would be better spent to help poor, unmarried women find jobs and pay for child care.

We've been doing that for years, and still are. The whole welfare system is about just that.
Isn't it time we spent some money on helping men who would like to become responsible husbands and fathers?

Naah. What was I thinking? Men aren't necessary.

Feminazis think its sexist for poor married men to work to suppport their women and children. But its equality for them to be lazy bums on welfare. <sarcasm

I used to wonder but now I think Rush hit it square on the head, "Femminism was started to allow ugly women better access to mainstream society".

Next time you see a NAG just call her sweetie and tell her to get back in the kitchen pronto. Be sure to be out of arms reach. ;-)

Excellent collection there, friend. I am so tired of man-bashing. It just breaks my heart.

Women need to love and be there for their men. My opinion!

They're just mad because THEIR guy (Bill Clinton) was too busy sexually abusing women to come up with any policies to help women!
