"Take Our Daughters To Work Day" Is Sexist

This story in the Press Democrat reports on Joe Manthey, a men's rights advocate who has filed a lawsuit against his county board of supervisors for their support of the sexist, misandrist holiday for girls known as "Take Our Daughters To Work Day." The problem is that the local government is supporting this sexism with public funds. Manthey's attorney, Chris Ferry of Pleasant Hill, said public agencies cannot put on any event that excludes participation based on gender. "Nothing is more rewarding to a child than to see their mother or father do well in public and be recognized," Ferry said. "The way the county has this event set up, it is being denied to boys. You can't do that. It's discrimination." Contact the Press Democrat to show your support for Mantheny here
