  This is from the wikipedia entry for Liberal Feminism (definitely what I 
am):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_feminism

     The goal of liberal feminism in the United States was embodied in the 
Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was never ratified. 
It said, "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged 
by the United States or any state on account of sex." -- Judith Lorber

   A programmer started to cuss
   Because getting to sleep was a fuss
   As he lay there in bed
   Looping 'round in his head
   was: while(!asleep()) sheep++;
