Some women have brilliant minds, special skills, wonderful ideas. And it would be a shame if we returned to the days were women were relegated to the kitchen and nursery.

Those days never existed. Women were always welcome in the professions, the arts, etc. It's just that very few ever bothered, back in the old days. So says my mother, who was indeed one of those few. She was never sexually harassed, she never ran into a glass ceiling, was never discriminated against. But when she had a baby at 43, she knew enough to stay home with me.

The glass ceiling, so called, is NEW, and it was created to keep hostile, ideologically driven feminists (who entered the workplace for all the wrong reasons) from ruining things by their bad attitudes.

Well, what kind of "ceiling" or barrier is there for men who are ideologically driven and can ruin things by their bad attitudes?

I am really amazed at the kind of discrimination I have seen posted here. If you were to say the same thing about African Americans, would you not be labeled a bigot?
