Women earn college degrees at a higher rate than men in California, but men still have advantages in leadership roles and earning power, according to an analysis by Mount St. Mary’s College.
The analysis, released Thursday, takes a wide-ranging look at how women and girls are faring across California. It points to recent achievements in some areas but highlights continuing inequities in many others, including women’s low representation in elected office, in high-paying science and technology careers, and in the top ranks of the state’s major public companies.

One sweep of her leg, one pasada, and you have four decades of Argentine conflict.
“… Her voice may not wield the belt of Ms. LuPone … but it is rich and powerful, deeply accented with Spanish. She has also been a professional tango dancer. One sweep of her leg, one pasada, and you have four decades of Argentine contlict.”
this will probably get me on all sorts of watch lists, but let's think about how we can take on the military industrial complex. Seriously.
“White America wants to pretend that it didn’t create the conditions in which poor ghetto dwellers now live. We want to forget our history. We don’t want to know that white racism created the ghetto and white indifference sustains it. We don’t want to admit that cops in big cities like Chicago will tell white kids like me to “get the hell out of the west side because those animals are capable of anything and you need to protect your wife.” We want to feel good about ourselves more than we want justice, we want sedation rather than peace, the appearance of opportunity rather than the concrete reality of it, comforting fictions rather than hard truths. Will America ever be equal? We can pray, we can hope. But we’re not there yet.”
