Enslaving Women

How nice--an estimated 30 million women and girls have been trafficked and forced into sex slavery for the past few decades, making it the biggest slave trade ever known to man. The trade is worth $9.5 billion in sales and is the third largest most profitable criminal enterprise in the world. We are really outdoing ourselves, now!

When Austrian Nobel Prize winner, Elfriede Jelinek (whose latest book, "Greed," is about to come out, against the backdrop of the Josef Fritzl story--a perfectly normal suburban old man who happened to be enslaving his daughter for 24 years in a dungeon and fathered her seven children), was asked if feminism had made significant gains over the years, she said, "Nothing would lead one to suppose that it had."

Considering our current impressive slave trade, she may very well be right.
