Ireland's feminism ill-serves YWCA

CJ writes "This is an excellent article in the Boston Globe by Cathy Young. It covers many issues relevant here: pay wage gap myth, domestic violence, double standards, and how Ireland's leadership at NOW embraced virulent hostility toward fathers. Under Ireland, NOW issued an ''Action Alert on `Fathers' Rights' ''she accused divorced men who seek a role in their children's lives of abusing power ''in the same fashion as do batterers'' and urging feminist activists to combat such proposals as joint custody and divorce mediation instead of litigation. What impact will Ireland bring to the YWCA? Her appointment is a radical 'slap in the face' to the founding mothers of this institution."
