"The Uniform Divorce Bill
"The greatest project NAWL has ever undertaken" is the description given by committee chair Matilda Fenberg to NAWL's pioneering work to create a Uniform Divorce Bill. At the 1947 NAWL convention in Cleveland, it was voted to draft and promote a bill that would embody the ideal of no-fault divorce. A draft prepared by Fenberg, working with NAWL past presidents Helen M. Cirese and J. Helen Slough, was approved at the 1952 convention in Berkeley, California.
Although the National Conference of Commissioners of Uniform State Laws had attempted to produce such a bill since its founding in 1892, Fenberg was informed that the Conference could receive bills or suggestions only from the ABA. Fenberg-who had been the first woman student at Yale Law School in 1919-then undertook a campaign to convince the ABA to create a Family Law Section. Three years later, in 1955, the section was approved. Fenberg was appointed chair of the Subcommittee on Migratory Divorce. In 1960 the bill was introduced to the ABA, which sent it to the Conference.
In 1965, the Conference commenced the task of drafting, and in 1970 produced, the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act (amended in 1971 and 1973). By 1977, the divorce portions had been adopted by nine states. Following this, the momentum for uniformity waned, but the ideal of no-fault divorce became the guiding principle for reformof divorce laws in the majority of states."

Nintendo Contractor Fired For Blogging
"One post on Zenner's blog--titled "The Daily Weed"--begins with her disputing her friends' perception that she is a pothead. She digresses into a wry tirade against one of her bosses: "One plus about working with [a] hormonal, facial-hair-growing, frumpy [woman] is that I have found a new excuse to drink heavily," Zenner writes. "My gut tells me that this woman hasn't been fucked in years."

Survey comment a bit disingenuous
[Read the article: Bringin' home the bacon, but no boyfriend]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]From the article:
"At least, that’s what their responses are in surveys. Talk about the subject with women a bit older — those who have been out of college long enough to be more hardened — and what you hear is ambivalence, if not downright hostility, about the income disparity."

Wrong conclusion
[Read the article: Bringin' home the bacon, but no boyfriend]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But really, if you are afraid that the plumber you have your heart set on is going to be intimidated, then tell him you are only a secretary. After a while I am sure the plumber will be comfortable with the fact that you make 9 to 10 times more money than he does. Every man will eventually become comfortable with your high salary.
The problem isn't men being uncomfortable dating women with higher salaries so much as women uncomfortable dating men who have lower salaries.

Look at Broadsheet's Blogroll
[Read the article: Bringin' home the bacon, but no boyfriend]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]On many ofthose blogs there are anti-male statements far more derogatory than anything brightstar has written.
Why isn't that an issue for concern? Maybe he's just trying to balance the scales in his own way.
