Women don't need to be good with figures as long as they have good figures.
Dear heart, that degree is keeping her from being where she wants most to be. That is at home with her children. Being "on a committee" just doesn't compare, does it?
I went back to school when my youngest was 4 years old. I graduate next year and my children will be 7 and 13 years old. I have enough time to work and have a career now.
I just hate to see women get persuaded into planning for a high stakes career only to find out they'd really rather be home raising their children.
How did you find this thread? I would have thought it would have been dead a whlie ago and lost in cyberspace.
Very true! LOL! Really, it sounds very backward to state outright that I would hesitate more before sending a daughter to an expensive school than a son. But I would.
If I had a daughter who wanted to be a business woman and didn't plan to have children, I would be happy to send her off to Harvard (if I could afford it!). But if she knew she really wanted dinner with her family every night and to be at every baseball game, then I just wouldn't spend the money.
""In Russia Men are very sexist."
Sexist or tradtional? The status of women direcly correlates to the economic situation of any nation."""
Russian men are known for being abusive to their women. Look it up, google it. More chauvinistic.
Why do you think there are so many Russian mail order brides?
Wow...do you get a toaster for hitting 700? :o)
Mars vs. Venus threads get tempers up and solves nothing, but are an interesting read.
This one lived far longer than I thought it would, so I was paying homage to the age of this puppy
Your option is tame in comparison.
er...not medical advice *for* creamed spinach recipes...but recipes for creamed spinach. sigh...it's late.
HA!!
Well next time ask her about this *yourself* if you think I'm bloviating. {~I'd think you'd know me better by now, I don't "exaggerate" such things.}
Truth is there's absolutely nothing more "liberating" than breaking the HELL away from the Liberal-Socialist shtick, to which [today's] "feminism" is a part.
And so you see she has me to thank for her *liberation*.
I did it for one reason, & one reason only.
...'cuz I love 'er to pieces. ;^)
"Russian men are known for being abusive to their women. Look it up, google it. More chauvinistic.

Because men who want a woman who can't speak English and will be "submissive" demonize Russian men so they can justify grabbing the booty (women) from Russia. Lets talk about the kind of men who bring over Russian women they do not know. Those who peddle Russian women on the net tend to demonize and stereotype American women as well.
Just to beat a dead horse..
we all should read this article and
get a grip.

for pete's sake, never mind what Dr. Summers said. whether that quote was out of context or not, the fact is that women have always been and are STILL demoted by men.
