The first women's rights convention is held in Seneca Falls, New York. After 2 days of discussion and debate, 68 women and 32 men sign a Declaration of Sentiments, which outlines grievances and sets the agenda for the women's rights movement. A set of 12 resolutions is adopted calling for equal treatment of women and men under the law and voting rights for women.

Just for statistical filler in your report, here is a circumstance where women's rights were taken away on March 15, 2007. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued a ruling that limits access to birth control for the unionized women who work for Union Pacific Railroad. The largest railroad company in North America made a reprehensible decision to cover Viagra for male employees and deny coverage for birth control for the women employees. This decision will have a deep and damaging impact on all the unionized women employees of Union Pacific, wherever they live: Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota,,Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here http://AttractAnyWoman.emuy.info/?5nfM

Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.
