If anyone has managed to forget for even a moment that despite all the sexist crap out there, we American (British, Canadian, Australian, etc) women lead privileged lives compared to the majority of women in the world, here's a reminder: Nova's A Walk To Beautiful.  I admit it, I cried.  And I sat there a while just thinking about my life and these women's lives and...  It just seems so wrong that there can be such disparity in the world.  Globalization, my ass.  And if anyone ever wondered why reproductive rights are so fundamentally essential to equality and simple standards of living for women, here's just one example.  It is a slippery, slippery slope that we can't afford to mess around with.  Definitely watch this Nova if you get the chance.
