Most people find racism abhorrent, don't they?? Well, I find sexism equally abhorrent. Demanding that all women stay in the kitchen and cook is much different from deciding to stay at home with the kids. It wouldn't surprise me if there was quite a few people on this board who would want to make it near impossible for women to work outside the home, just like it was during the 1950's and 1960's.

Even if that's true, the fact is that those people have no power to make those changes in society. They might be nostalgic over what they think was a better time, but that time is not coming back.

If you're going to go around with such a huge chip on your shoulder, at least wear two of them; that way they'll look more like shoulder pads.

I can't speak for most people. I find racial bigotry pitiful, actually. I just don't get emotionally animated so much, I guess.

And despite the clairvoyance you exhibit in the latter part of your post, in fact you can't speak for what's in the mind of other people. You just don't know, but you seem to think you might now. That's a problem, but one you will wrestle with as you mature. Well, if you mature. I think you probably might mature, but I don't know - I can't read your mind.

In any event, you haven't addressed my point - people can come to those conclusions you find unpalatable on non-sexist grounds. If you can't grasp that, you're ignoring a good portion of the equation, and will draw faulty and fundamentally unfair conclusions yourself.
