	Your View: Tories shutting down Status of Women offices
		Political lobbying for "women's rights" is outdated--women have full equal participation in the modern world (our universities are filled with women; female registrations are easily outstripping male, for one clear example.) Certainly there are still cases of discrimination, but there are other ways of addressing them.
		Currently, there are more women than men in professional university degree programs, women have made massive headway in the corporate, political and government worlds, birth control, abortions and various other traditionally female hot-button issues are non-topics any longer and "glass ceilings" may actually be a result of misleading statistics more than anything.
		You can almost feel her 'rage' filled comments and that is a prime example of the consensus of many women demanding equality when the majority of women deserving this so called equality have already seen the writing on the wall and captured it for themselves with hardwork and diligence, (something men have accomplished throughout history).

	Hirsutism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It refers to a male pattern of body hair (androgenic hair) and it is therefore primarily of cosmetic and psychological concern.
		This theory is consistent with the observation that obese (and thus presumably insulin resistant hyperinsulinemic) women are at high risk of becoming hirsute.
		Hirsutism only affects women since the rising of androgens causes a male pattern of body hair, particularly in locations where women normally do not develop terminal hair within their puberty (chest, abdomen, back and face).
