http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_ParksRosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 October 24, 2005) was an African American civil rights activist whom the U.S. Congress later called the "Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement".On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused to obey bus driver James Blake's order that she give up her seat to make room for a white passenger. Her action was not the first of its kind: Irene Morgan, in 1946, and Sarah Louise Keys, in 1955, had won rulings before the Supreme Court and the Interstate Commerce Commission respectively in the area of interstate bus travel. But unlike these previous individual actions of civil disobedience, Parks' action sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott.Parks's act of defiance became an important symbol of the modern Civil Rights Movement and Parks became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation. She organized and collaborated with civil rights leaders, including boycott leader Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to launch him to national prominence in the civil rights movement.Parks eventually received many honors ranging from the 1979 Spingarn Medal to the Congressional Gold Medal, a posthumous statue in the United States Capitol's National Statuary Hall, and the posthumous honor of lying in honor[1] at the Capitol Rotunda.

In the Negev Desert in Israel, Arab Bedouins are forced to become sedentary. Obliged to abandon their traditional way of life, they end up living on the fringes of towns, where they become a source of cheap labour. A women's association is attempting to revive bedouin handicrafts and thus create a source of income for 250 women. At the same time, they are organising literacy classes in Arabic and Hebrew.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veOFfDYHN50http://www.GTR5.comhttp://www.nkusa.orghttp://www.imemc.orghttp://electronicintifada.nethttp://www.almanar.com.lbhttp://www.palsolidarity.orghttp://www.palestine-info.co.ukhttp://www.iamthewitness.comhttp://www.ifamericansknew.orghttp://198.62.75.1/www2/koestlerhttp://www.jordantimes.com/?news=7569http://www.palestine-net.com/geography/cleansedhttp://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=6118144849760405404http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-3319663041501647311http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-8533633099218104720http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-2451908450811690589

This is technically a reply to Adamatheatheist's wage gap video because I expand on the issue and attempt to provide some further evidence for his overall point that the gendered income disparity is unfair and unjustified. However, I am also responding to arguments I've heard from various YouTube users and scholars like Warren Farrell.Women and men are capable of--and almost always do--work of the same caliber. This is evidenced by the fact that, when comparing men and women in comparable positions, we see that men and women are paid comparably. Unfortunately, a level of discrimination continues to exist between such workers.If women in fact do the same work for less, then why don't firms hire more women in an effort to be competitive? The simple answer: that is exactly what they are doing. Across history women have been a source of cheap labor, and continue to be so today. There does not exist a single moment in history (or pre-history, for that matter) when a significant proportion of women were not performing the same kind of labor as their male counterparts. Women have always done "men's" jobs. Therefore, it seems to me that the segregation of women into lower-paying jobs is more a matter of the influence of institutions, relationships, and societal norms than a matter of personal choice.(Part 1 of 2)
