So what more do men have to lose? Why is foolish and presumptuous to give out personal information on the net? So I'm monitored, big deal. For people that have a problem being monitored, don't ever leave the anonomity of the city. The little old lady next door to me could tell you more about my kids than I can. I wonder because I was raised by a conservative feminist. My world view is based on the feminist ideal, "I can take care of myself, damnit!" So I just want to know why I don't see where you are coming from.

Frederic Conrad, now you are being presumptuous. First of all, I don't consider myself to be a feminist, adamant, or any other type. I am a married woman, and have always known it is a man's world. Because of the generation I come from, this has never been an issue in my life. My husband and I respect each other so these man/woman arguments are irrelevant to our relationship. As far as one gender having more to lose than the other gender, I would tend to think that this has more to do with a person's individual circumstances than what their gender is. In your statement "Your request for personal information may also be perceived as "ammunition" provisions for personal attacks." The most personal information I have ever asked anyone here, is what their profession is. If they feel that it would be jeopardizing their safety, then they have the option to withhold that information. Just for the record, I prefer my husband to be head of the household. As I stated earlier, we respect each other, so all of this "Who's Better" stuff is a non-issue in my home, and in my life. Since I figured out from your profile that you are probably, younger than my youngest child, I don't expect you to understand my general view of life. I think that there is one key word that all of us should remember when dealing with people, whether it's your parents, children, co-workers, neighbors, etc. The word is "Respect" Sincerely, C Kahn
