is calling 2002 the year of the woman an oxymoron?

based on what? Liddy Dole's election?
1992 was called the year of the woman, but I would never call this year that.

Which year wasn't the "Year of the Woman"?
They control the vast majority of money in this country; they have successfully lobbied for special rights in the legal system, family courts and society in general. What more do they want?

You and Lavy are "Female Chauvinists".
You will not recognize the power and control that women, in general, in this country hold. You see the world and this country through biased lenses. The majority of women in this country share the value of their husbands' AND their own wealth. Statistics that you might quote are skewed by the elimination of the wealth that most wives control as a partner in a relationship.
I've worked in a field that has females hired equal to me and paid EXACTLY equal to me by contract. I don't think that is an oddity, I think it is pretty much the norm. What I have seen is willingness for females to take "leaves of absence" or otherwise reduce their seniority, by their own choice, to their own financial detriment. Please, continue the discussion.

I'm quite content with my rights as a woman. I'm as well or better paid than most men in my field with the same level of experience and have the complete right to do or be any damn thing I please.
Try to stop me and you'll discover I'm right.
(Please note that I'm in a rather conservative mood tonight. Guess I'm just adapting to the new world order.)

Apparently words have little meaning to you.
A "Chauvinist" is one who supports an ideology to their own detriment. The false belief, and tendency to degrade men, because "women are inheritantly” taken advantage of is passé and no longer accepted nor appreciated in our society. It may be popular in the "extreme coasts", but it is seen as demeaning by most women in the majority of the country.
I'm sorry that some women are incapable of progressing beyond the "victim" mentality of the 70's and early 80's. It's old and
tired.
