No, I am not the one who began by hurling invective. I am still waiting for a reasoned response to the points I raised, instead of the name calling.

I still think that something I said hit home in a painful way.

Congratulations. You are correct. To read your suggestions that my sons should content themselves with trade employment while girls with lower grades and SAT scores head to college is painfully callous and smug.

Having a college degree has been more essential for a woman to support herself than it has been for a man.

When asked, you offered no back-up for that ridiculous statement. What world do you live in?

The problem with today's "feminists" is that they are NOT feminists. They want all the advantages and perks of the job or education without doing the work, simply because they're women. That's not the feminism of Betty Friedan or Germaine Greer. (Do you even know those names?)

I hope you and every other young woman without children on these threads who speak so glibly about young men's futures will one day have your own children.

And I hope you remember this conversation. And I hope things are better for your children -- boys and girls.
