Nonsense, X. Do you know young women in their 20s, let's say, who have other ambitions besides 'finding that rescuing Prince Charming' to provide them 'every happiness?' As well, have you had any sort of inside look into Fortune 100 corporations lately, if at all? Same ole, same ole ... men get promoted and the token (read: weird) female Ph.D. EE gets the directorship of the design laboratory. Racism is rampant as well ... just responding to you on the 'progress' made regarding women ... LOL. 60 cents on the dollar with glass ceiling firmly in place. ????????????????????????? TIA, 'b-i-a' ###

Hi X, This one's in response to your conversation with Bonnie about the impact of the liberal movement upon things like women's rights. probably my largest heartbreak with regard to the opportunities afforded to women as a result of the women's right movement that began in the 60's is the backlash I see among women my age (40's) who have been afforded the right to choose, often acted on it, and now have become antichoice. It's a cruel and incomprehensible turn of events, as far as I'm concerned.
