I've heard it a thousand times: Sexism no longer exists in this country.
As a college instructor, I heard it. Talking with other moms at playgroup, I've heard it. At conferences and in meetings and on television and during radio talk shows, I've heard it.

Until a few days ago, I'd
not really given the Roman Polanski story much
thought–he was basically a punchline to jokes about
men interested in much-younger women. So I went looking for the
facts of the case, and wow. Let's be clear about what this guy
is accused of doing, so… Read More »

First let's define free will. It's having the ability to desire an action and the means to do it. We obviously have the free will to do certain things and not others. We are free to move our arms. We are not free to flap our arms and fly away. We are free to… Read More »
