Women bear the brunt of budget cuts
Study shows men shouldering barely one quarter of tax and benefit pain
"Of the nearly £8bn net revenue to be raised by the financial year 2014-15, nearly £6bn will be from women and just over £2bn from men. [Yvette] Cooper said the proposed cuts of up to 40% in some departments' budgets, floated by the government at the weekend, would also be likely to disproportionately hit women, who make up a large section of the public sector workforce."
(Guardian, 5th July, Page 1)
It came as no surprise yet despite the depletion of all my emotions, I felt the crushing injustice.
I also figured that £238m is really a teeny weeny amount at the end of the day.
