Today in America women still earn only 82% of the pay than men earn for equal work. The recent “me too” movement is just beginning to bring attention to the unequal treatment and subjugation of women in the workplace that nearly every woman experiences at some time in their working careers. Women have worked for equal treatment under the law for over 50 years yet still have far to go. Nationally, women make up nearly 51% of the population and I fail to understand how a subjectively distasteful halftime show is evidence that the majority of Americans don’t deserve equal rights under the law. Dana Deale Palm Harbor

Saunders misses mark Re: The four lawmen of the apocalypse (Feb. 20) The hyperbole in the fi rst paragraph is a giveaway that Debra Saunders is living in some alternate reality. To claim that Trump’s base is hardcore Libertarians completely negates their authoritarian agenda to control women and marginalize, malign and discriminate against non-whites, non-“Christians,” immigrants, LGBTQ, and anyone who does not conform to their agenda. To call the left “brutal authoritarians” is incendiary language that insults those of us who respect human rights, diversity, inclusivity, the rule of law and stand in opposition to the megalomaniacal narcissism of Trump’s agenda. Fred Wilber Plainfi eld, Vermont

The other side I am disappointed in your paper’s one-sided editorial policy, which consistently supports Republicans and President Trump in particular. It’s fi ne to let Debra Saunders express her support for Trump and her political views, but where is the opposing point of view? Why don’t you offer thoughts from another columnist who doesn’t share Ms. Saunders’ views? It’s fi ne for Bob Driver to administer bromides about the meaning of life or good housekeeping, but that’s not at all the same thing. Since President Reagan put an end to the Fairness Doctrine, we have been bombarded by radio, cable TV, and internet propagandists who put forth their biased political views with no requirement that they provide space or time to those who disagree with them. I would hope that your newspapers would aim a lot higher than that. There are any number of moderate and progressive journalists who hold and express views quite different from those of Ms. Saunders. You should publish a column written by one of them alongside hers.
