Wal-Mart Sex Discrimination
I know this is a little off topic from what we are covering right now, but it actually relates to the book I read for the review so I thought I would share it. Basically, 1.6 million current and former female Wal-Mart workers filed the biggest class action sex discrimination lawsuit in history and it was just approved to move forward. Among the evidence against Wal-Mart is that they paid women less than men for the same jobs, denied them promotions which were given to less qualified men, etc. Here's a link to the article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17008884/

I love how Wal-Mart defends their employment policy by stating they support a family oriented work environment. They must believe the family is only existent in the early 20th century when women had very little employment rights. The notion of family has evolved, while Wal-Mart is still in pre-historic times.
