Western ...Mrs. Duck, <BR/><BR/>Very thought-provoking piece. Western Society moved so far so quickly (vis a vis the female gender role), that few people stopped to ask what the cost might be. <BR/><BR/>I would never argue that this movement into the fields traditionally dominated by men is a bad thing, or should (or even could) be undone. <BR/><BR/>But there are ramifications in all manners of things that come from this, and non-political honest discussion is a good start. Your words, while just a small slice, open up a big debate nicely. I think I will tell my readers to come see what you have to say. <BR/><BR/>As for Sparky, dude: I know you meant you're proud of your wife (in that you didn't write the piece), but what you actually said was that you were proud that you spellchecked. That you missed a typo in the second word would argue that maybe you should do your job a little better.Hyperionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918089288365164048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158674.post-81978028315220328132008-09-18T15:57:00.000-04:002008-09-18T15:57:00.000-04:00I wouldn't say she's done an excellent job at anyt...I wouldn't say she's done an excellent job at anything, but that's my opinion. <BR/><BR/>However, what is at issue is when a woman says that her ability to juggle home/work demands makes her an excellent candidate, then don't we have the responsibility to question her abilities in that respect?Lady Jane Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743082543888658245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158674.post-51670518127629792102008-09-05T11:43:00.000-04:002008-09-05T11:43:00.000-04:00My entire life I've been told I can do anything an...My entire life I've been told I can do anything and if I want I can do everything. I've been told this by feminists.<BR/><BR/>Now a NON-feminist has achieved this, and has done an excellent job along the way. Suddenly everywhere I look I'm told "No, woman can't do anything. A woman has to choose, and if they choose career then they'll be looked down upon"<BR/><BR/>It's absolutely shameful.<BR/><BR/>Oh, but hey - HAPPY ROCKIN' FRIDAY!! :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08763110683087512959noreply@blogger.com
