Absolutely. I was more making a point about politics here in North America. Pakistani women aren't particularly liberated or equal either, and yet they had a female head of government before the USA! <BR/><BR/>The struggle continues all over the world!Red Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720489192755635941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219664.post-60968965231647436932007-07-22T23:06:00.000-04:002007-07-22T23:06:00.000-04:00I was going to mention that I don't think Canada r...I was going to mention that I don't think Canada really deserves to be on that list.
