Well, for one it's biblical. And secondly - I don't think that women were meant to lead. I tried that once and I am divorced. Men and women and what they need are built differently- men need respect, women need love. And I can't respect a man that can't lead. I know myself- I need someone I can look up to.

And as far as choosing to be a leader at home when I became an attorney- 1) that's ridiculous and 2) it's not going to be traditionally male for much longer and 3) I am a woman that can take it off when I come home and let my feminine side come through at home, where it belongs. I know there are women that can't, and that is the alpha male-women you guys are talking about. But you can't punish a woman for becoming an attorney.

Yes! A woman who shares my frustration (except I'm a CPA). Well said, lawgirl!

That is very true, but a man can't lead a woman that refuses to follow.

Until men learn the nature of the prevailing double-talk, they will not be able to provide women with the clear choice they must make.

Our society is not predicated on Biblical principles, our notion of marriage, is. Without men who can provide the clear dividing line into our relationships, and women who will not try to side-step it, we will continue to have men that can't be bothered and women that can always find a way to blame.

No, but you can assess the situation and recognize that in all probability a woman attorney is going to 1)Contest rather than Compromise, and 2)Be more concerned with her career rather than her relationship. A fact which I am certain you can attest to.
