I hope we (the public) do not have to pay the legal fees to defend the RCMP, our national police force. I have lost track of all the litigation. From harassment suits to systemic discrimination.

Professor Gina Barreca of the University of Connecticut recently wrote a great column suggesting it is time for women to stop fighting among themselves. I cannot agree more. She mentions an article by Elizabeth Wurtzel in The Altantic titled “Stay-at-Home-Moms are Wrecking Women’s Economic Platforms Forever” and how it attracted 17 million blog responses! As
