Matt:

I'm sure you and many other Freematt subscribers are well aware of what's
happening to women in Afghanistan. As a well-employed American woman who is
allowed to come and go as she pleases and to make decisions regarding her
living arrangements, marital status, style of dress, medical care and other
very personal aspects of her life by herself without the so-called
"help-for-her-own-good-and-that-of-her-people" provided by men, I of course
am concerned about the plight of those in Afghanistan who didn't have the
good fortune to be born with a Y chromosome. (Coincidentally, as it happens,
female children compose the majority of births in almost every society on
Earth.)

I found this article at USAToday.com to be both inspiring and sad, and I
thought your readers might enjoy it, as well, if they haven't seen it
already. (I'm a fairly new subscriber, so I don't know if you ever forward
links.)
