it turned out that women were less likely than you thought, but less
likely than you thought?


I think this lost something in the translation. <g>

especially because you claim to be a feminist

I don't think I came right out and said that; if I did, it wasn't strictly accurate. As I recall I said, which is true, that I had supported and worked for feminist candidates and causes in the 60s, particularly Bella Abzug, and still supported many of the traditional feminist principles, which being the father of two daughters I still do since I want them to be able to earn their livings on the same footing as my son and have the same opportunities that he does. But I hope I didn't go so far as to claim baldly that I am a feminist. There is IMO a vast difference between suporting many feminist principles and being a feminist. I do claim the former. But not the latter.

A more accurate bumper sticker would say "Guns don't kill people, fatherless raised men kill people".

We could also invent one which says "abortion is a womens way to kill in order to get even for all the fatherless men killings".

But I don't think either would add much value to our culture. And I think it would be ridiculous to put one on my car.
