Men unprotected minority in workforce
13-million out of work

In 1969, the world's greatest president, Richard M. Nixon issued an executive order to make females a minority in the eyes of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Since 2002, the Department of Labor reported 52 percent of the workforce was female. In 2009, the media is just discovering that fact. Since men are now the minority, when do we get an executive order protecting them under the Civil Rights Act?

This weekend, following Friday's August job report, we discovered that since Nov. 2007, not four or six million jobs were lost, but 16-million. That means men, who have suffered the greatest losses, 80%, have lost 13-million jobs.

Women unemployed numbers are 8 percent and men 12 percent. The media reported if part time and discouraged workers were included, men would be at 17 percent.

There would be a public outcry if that were women, gays, Native Americans or other minorities. Fine that it's men, preferably (and it is) older men.
