In recent years, it appears that girls have overtaken boys in terms of education. More girls are going to college and graduating, and they're testing better than boys at earlier levels. This has created a certain level of panic amongst those who find it almost impossible to believe that in an equal playing field, girls simply couldn't possibly be better than boys.

I will begin by assuming that most people have read the excellent and horrific diary by eugene. If not, you definitely should This seems like an excellent time to discuss the wider implications of miscarriage for the millions of women who have had to suffer one or more, and usually in silence.

You see, miscarriage is something of a taboo topic in this country. We have scripts for break ups, divorce, loss of job, and the death of a family member. Yet grieving mothers who have lost a pregnancy are largely expected to remain silent. People don't now how to deal with miscarriage, and because of this and our increasingly anti-choice culture, it's quickly snowballing into a political issue of astounding significance.
