Another terrific op-ed piece by columnist Nicholas Kristof in today's New York Times. He makes a strong case at the end, arguing against male priviledge and our world's inability to recognize women as equals.
Not to be a spoiler, but Kristof is right on when he says, "If men had uteruses, 'paternity wards' would get resources, ambulances would transport pregnant men to hospitals free of charge, deliveries would be free, and the Group of 8 industrialized nations would make paternal mortality a top priority. One of the most lethal forms of sex discrimination is the systematic inattention to reproductive health care, from family planning to childbirth- so long as those who die are impoverished, voiceless women."
Again, Kristof delivers, always writing for justice.
