Thus is sexual discrimination institutionalised.

I find this really very bizarre. Why would you get certified to basically be a woman?! Women compete just as well as men, so why do they need to get a piece of paper to say that they can?! I agree with Matt’s comment.

Sorry Matt and Colin but we women have only been able to vote for the last 100 years. We also couldn’t own property and run for public office . There are still many men in this country who are trying to tell us when to have a child, no matter the situation or circumstance….If men had been in this position, all hell would have broken loose.

Sorry Matt and Colin, all hell would have broken loose if you hadn’t been able to vote, own property or run for public office. You’d be so angry if we tried to tell you when to have a child–no matter the circumstance or situation. Grow up and move over, we are commin up behind and will pass on the inside……

i dont think so ,that to be a certified, women own a business is a big issue. for me men and women are equal now, what man can do,women also can do it. if she was given a certifacation,if she or he is deserving to have it then let it be done. we are now in the age of both men and women are given equal rights. im sorry Matt and Collin. gender is not the issue here,but passion and motivation is the key to reach our goal ok!
