Larry Flynt wonders what ever happened to equal rights for women. I wonder what the heck hes talking about. Its news to this American female that my gender doesnt share equal rights with men.
Flynt uses the standby pay gap line as proof that women are wildly discriminated against in the big bad United States. The Hustler publisher (I know, the irony kills me too) says, To this day women are paid roughly 20% to 25% less than their male counterparts for doing the same job.
This claim has been so soundly blown out of the water that its almost amusing when leftists bring it up. Its like watching someone try to convince a group of rational adults that the boogeyman really does live in the closet.
Maybe if Mr. Flynt put down his magazine full of naked ladies long enough to read some real news, hed find some actual female oppression around the globe. Just last month, The Washington Post published an article detailing a popular medical procedure for Chinese women preparing for marriage hymenoplasty.
It turns out that Chinese men want their women untouched. Thats not good for the Chinese women that enjoyed being touched, before marriage, and not by their fiancés. Now, thanks to Dr. Zhou Hong and countless others, women can oblige their future husbands with surgical hymen reconstruction.
We can fix it so everything is perfect, so the men can believe they are marrying virgins, said Zhou Hong, a physician and director of gynecology at the Beijing Wuzhou Womens Hospital. We dont advertise it; we dont publicize it.
Zhou, 44, said most of her patients are sexually active young women who are about to marry and have told their future husbands they are virgins.

Larry Flynt should not be talking about womens rights, he treats them like dogs
Hey, if you can’t break people into little oppressed groups you can’t make voting blocks out of them. I’m feeling a little oppressed, but I think I just need to turn the AC down....
So, Larry doesn’t discriminate in his choice of “models” for his magazine?
Michael Vick does the same job as Peyton Manning.
I clicked the title for the story...I’m staying for the pics of Jabba the Hutt.
Larry Flynt needs a little KFC.
Not true.
Yes, but just try convincing the uninformed. Every single MSM outlet trumpets this claim as gospel, and its virtually impossible to tell the typical mass media consumer otherwise.
Several obvious retorts suggest themselves, some clean, some not.
I'd like to know how many men he has photographed in, er, compromising positions.
The earning power of young single women has surpassed that of their male peers in metropolitan areas around the U.S., a shift that is being driven by the growing ranks of women who attend college and move on to high-earning jobs.
In 2008, single, childless women between ages 22 and 30 were earning more than their male counterparts in most U.S. cities, with incomes that were 8% greater on average, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data released Wednesday by Reach Advisors, a consumer-research firm in Slingerlands, N.Y.
The trend was first identified several years ago in the country's biggest cities, but has broadened out to smaller locales and across more industries. Beyond major cities such as San Francisco and New York, the income imbalance is pronounced in blue-collar hubs and the fast-growing metro areas that have large immigrant populations.
Guess Larry doesn't read much. Probably only knows how to look at the pictures.
Porn king feminist. Do people fall for that?
