Introduction
Gender discrimination is not always to the detriment of women;
it can sometimes negatively affect men, usually due to the
prevailing stereotypes which exist in labour-dominated societies.
General presumptions such as the husband supports the wife
financially are no longer valid since many women are
economically active, financially self-sufficient and often make an

Unintended consequences? Or a deep state conspiracy in Mississippi?
That specter arose with bills introduced in the Mississippi Legislature to privatize Alcohol Beverage Control services and the operation of state parks.Â
House Bill 997 as introduced by Rep. Trey Lamar of Senatobia, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, would privatize the stateâs distribution system of wine and liquor. Senate Bill 2486 as introduced by Sen. Neil Whaley of Potts Camp, chairman of the Senate Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks Committee, would privatize up to 21 of the stateâs 25 state parks.
The fate of both bills remains uncertain. The House passed Lamarâs bill. The Senate amended Whaleyâs bill to set up a committee to study state park privatization and passed that.
