text: Women have been "had".   They have provided a lot flexibility for society to re-shape the workforce, however, are often very poorly treated for their efforts, both individually, and collectively.   Effectively, women are second class members of society economically, whether they be the likes of Carrie Fisher (with a $50MM insurance policy on her head) or that young prospective lawyer who can't get a decent articling job and is now looking at returning to school for a third degree in order to achieve employability.
