Five Feminist Myths That Will Not Die

Article here. Excerpt:

'Much of what we hear about the plight of American women is false. Some faux facts have been repeated so often they are almost beyond the reach of critical analysis. Though they are baseless, these canards have become the foundation of Congressional debates, the inspiration for new legislation and the focus of college programs. Here are five of the most popular myths that should be rejected by all who are genuinely committed to improving the circumstances of women:

MYTH 1: Women are half the world’s population, working two-thirds of the world’s working hours, receiving 10% of the world’s income, owning less than 1% of the world’s property.
...
MYTH 2: Between 100,000 and 300,000 girls are pressed into sexual slavery each year in the United States.
...
MYTH 3: In the United States, 22%–35% of women who visit hospital emergency rooms do so because of domestic violence.
...
MYTH 4: One in five in college women will be sexually assaulted.
...
MYTH 5: Women earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns—for doing the same work.'
