Zoltan!, You always dig up the intersting posts. I have one for you but I am almost sure you have read the book "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli. It was suggested by someone that Bill Clinton was a student of Machiavelli because his Presidency has so closely mirrored that which Machiavelli taught. After reading the book, there is no doubt in my mind that Clinton has indeed studied the book, and has moulded his career in the manner described by the father of Political Science, Machiavelli. -John

Nice try, Zolt, but you are unfortunately, wasting your time with her. She is obviously a die hard feminist who has been damaged by some failed relationship or maybe a family divorce. She is so consumed by hate for the male gender that she proposes ridiculous arguments. If you extrapolate her opinions and beliefs into everyday life it's not too difficult to see how the lesbian culture continue to grow. As a son of a divorced mother with two very young children, a mother who sacrificed herself for her children, I never heard her rage about this stuff. She did her job and I tried to repay her in every way that I could. I have always said that if there is a Hall of Fame for Mothers, my mother would be a charter member, and I miss her terribly. God best those mothers who do their job with dignity and love. She is a very sad case.

Zoltan, Thanks for posting that article. There's much common sense contained therein. Trying to formulate policies and agendas that run contrary to human nature, both male and female, will never work in the long run. JB

Zoltan, Zoltan, Zoltan. How about digging up a bio on this Ms Crittendon huh? She seems like an average character from the past - unsuccessful, perhaps? Maybe she peaked at say, 25? Lots of women (and men) do, you know. Those were the high school football players and cheerleaders that never grew up. Thats what I think all these guys on this thread are, btw. Physically, women peak early: In dating and marriage markets, they have their greatest power during their 20s, when they are healthiest and most sexually attractive and have access to partners many years older. Really? Power comes from wealth and hardly anybody has it in their 20s (although some do). "It seems a poor trade-off for a society: valuing the work a woman does writing legal briefs more than the hours she might have devoted to helping her child feel her importance in the world." Untrue. Stay at home moms produce women with no work ethic I believe. At least, Ive seen this in my own family. Female children of stay at home moms seem to have no idea how to be upwardly mobile. Just an observation. Ms. Crittenden's second suggestion is for women to marry at an earlier age. Rather than establishing oneself in a career before thinking about family, younger women should exploit their natural advantages to secure husbands and families before the odds turn against them. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Sounds like the "odds" turned against this author! BTW, if you look at Hollywood you will see that the leading ladies are about 15-20 years older than they were allowed to be 30 years ago. Women in Hollywood used to be washed up at 30 - now thats when they get started. Thats because these days, people look at the whole person when they look at women, how smart and successful they are as well as what they look like, about the same as for the men. Everyone wants to be valued for their inner person I think and this is a big move forward. Of course, the former cheerleaders that peaked at age 20 (like the author) are probably not so happy. Too bad for them! Really Zoltan, this person sounds like Arianna Huffington (aka the barking chihuahua). These people made an entire career out of writing books about what is wrong with women today. Now, who is going to choose that as an occupation except for people that have some underlying problem with themselves huh? Nobody with anything going on reads these jokers (I know I dont).
