I think it's sexist that men can't have babies

Yeah, and I served with a lot of them for a lot of years in the cockpit and out. Frankly, there was not much value added after they arrived, despite the feverish hoopla.

But, I know it would be Politically Incorrect to say the downsides were not worth the effort IMHO, so I wouldn't dare say that in decent company. But, as you imply, that is all "old" history - and we all know how old and foolish "old" history is. In any case, for good or ill it is a done deal and we have to live with it.

But, you have little "before" experience in this. However, you are certainly welcome to your "after" opinion - informed or not - and I'll keep my "before/after" opinion, tempered by a few more years of experience on both sides of the equation.

In the meantime, call General Rosa and tell him to get that mess straightened out, will you? I'm too busy and involved in an important BINGO tournament down here at the Old Folks Home.

Just because something has occurred for a substantial amount of time, it doesn't mean it's right. How long was there slavery in this country?
