"The researchers cited men's preference for driving faster than women, as well as working more hours and choosing more lucrative locations to serve."
Unacceptable!

shouldn't that be in the Pro/con forum? ;)
Lol, an awful lot has changed in the 20 years since that was written.

I've been meaning to write this article for ages. He did a fantastic job.
And naturally the comment section there steps right up to prove his point.

Yowzah. Quite the read. This reporter did a much better job of framing the story than most others on similar topics.

Yup. And Si never did see the irony of fighting the Orthodox Jews the same way the non-Jews once fought against the Reform Jews.

Epliogue from 20 years later is that there are now 4 massive shuls next door to each other in Beachwood, lots more Frum families have moved in while overpaying for housing close to the shuls, the city schools are in the top 5 statewide, city services are the envy of the entire state, and there are practically zero houses for sale within walking distance of the shuls. The Jewish mayor at the time of the article was just voted out in November in favor of...another Jewish mayor.

They just renamed it.
Isn't it all mostly about the semantics?

I think a lot of the politics and heated discussion would go away if governments would limit the term Marriage to a religious ceremony, which is legally acknowledged or accepted by the state (and since the US has the 1st amendment, no law should distinguish between married and unmarried people, unless the people choose a certain legal status). And allowing a legal form of domestic partnership, which will apply all legal obligations and rights currently associated with marriage, possibly with a checkbox to allow for civil dissolution of the domestic partnership, automatically upon religiously ending the marriage.
