You're posting to 2 well educated, very knowledgeable, happily married women of good morals, who are CONSERVATIVE.

I do like cats, but don'/t have any.

OTOH...I bet that you aren't married and I KNOW that you aren't educated at all! You don't know much factual history, don't apparently are incapable of writing grammatically correct simple English prose, and the level at which you do write, is barely second grade.

Thank you for sharing your personal history. It's so very helpful to the debate.

Rather than tell us all about how much you know about prohibition days, the suffragette movement, and the names of feminists since the dawn of time, how about you share the thoughts you have formed after sitting in your women's study class.

This is the marketplace of ideas, not who prove can their bona fides the best.

don't apparently are incapable of writing grammatically correct simple English prose,

I find this sentence ironical.
