As I've said before, reframe much of the discussion over the last couple of pages in a racial context and I suspect everyone would be able to see it's inappropriateness....
Well said. I think that if men would try to see things from the points of view of their wives and daughters, we wouldn't be afflicted with as much of this BS as we are.
I use any opportunity to brag about my own daughters, one a financial analyst, the other a Harvard educated lawyer. They continue to teach me much and always with humor. Somehow they have survived the failings of their parents and a sexist society.
