Throughout most of mankind's history, up until just a few short decades ago, home-making was almost universally looked upon as a profession deemed more important to the family and deserving higher esteem than having a career. Some folks still feel that way, but they get shouted down by the left, who are intolerant of anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Having a career and equal opportunity should be an option for women, but the women's movement has chastized and pressured all women to believe that they were worthless if they didn't. That is wrong.

Just a couple of issues that the women's movement has brought us:

1. Latch key children, raising themselves, with all the attendant social and behavioral problems within and without the family. It shouldn't "take a village," unless there isn't a family.

2. Inflation -- Higher family incomes from those that have two workers who are bidding against one-worker families for houses, cars, and everything else in the market place, drives up prices. It puts pressure on nearly all families to have two incomes to compete, whether they want to or not.

3. Women's health issues -- Women can now "brag" that their rates of heart attack, stroke, and other diseases rival those of men. Now, that's "equality."
