Women are 51% of the population but 70% of the poor, and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food, but earn only 11% of the pay and own only 1% of the land. In case you wondered why we still need feminism.

Because no one spends as much on science as the US does, destroying NIH, NSF, NOAA, NASA, EPA, USDA, USGS, etc. is leading to a brain drain, but it's not to other countries but rather from science. This senseless destruction of US science will hurt the US and the world for a very long time.
