Women Politics. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean in 1837, Pitcairn island was declared the first place in the world to have women's rights equal to men. Today, the United States has the largest percentage of children being raised in a household by a single adult. It's the largest in the world. The family unit is under assault and there's lots of reasons to believe it isn't healthy. Have women sacrificed their contentment for competing with men in the work place? Do women hold antipathy toward men? Social norms have been stretched. There are only differences and learning how to respect those differences.
