quote:A damning new report reveals that the Bush administration has quietly removed 25 reports from its Women's Bureau Web site, deleting or distorting crucial information on issues from pay equity to reproductive healthcare.
read here for the details. (you might have to watch the ad to get the one-day pass for salon.com--but it's worth it.)

Well, that's appalling. Not surprising, I suppose, but appalling nevertheless.

I'm surprised that the Bush administration even had a Women's Bureau.

I'm surprised there is a "Womens Bureau" too. Sounds pretty sexist to me. Is there a "Mens Bureau"?

Yeah. They would be every other bureau in the Bush Administration. Sort of like how Men's Studies in university is every other department besides Women's Studies.
You're welcome.

Yeah, even the so-called "theatre departments" are more like Old Boys Clubs than anything that could be construed as progressive or open-minded. I'm with Michelle on this one.
