Yes, I thought if I pressed your buttons, I'd get that kind of response. :-)

The problem is not with women being educated--my wife has an IQ of 150--but of being propagandized by liberals, and telling themselves that whatever they are spoon-fed is "education".

Try reading the short essay "Are Women Human" by Dorothy Sayers. She was a British mystery writer who had a Master's in English from Oxford, and who wrote the classic Murder Must Advertise which appeared on Masterpiece Theatre. Her point is that the classic feminist shriek about "the patriarchy keeping women imprisoned at home" is a bunch of balderdash. The problem is that maintaining a home has had many of the challenging tasks taken out of it, not by men, but by the process of general industrialization. Why select fabric, dye it, weave it, tailor it, maintain it when you can just go down to the mall and buy it "off the rack"?

For the nonce, many women who have entered the working world have discovered the "dirty little secret" their men kept from them, concerning the working world. Working for a corporation SUCKS. My wife points out to me the many women at her job who absolutely HATE working but have to continue doing it, because they can't afford a decent lifestyle otherwise. (See also double-income-no-kids competing with them, easy credit terms which raise the bar on what people *think* they can afford, and confiscatory taxation to provide government support for those who do not bother to take care of their own needs.)

Cheers!

Wouldn't it be better for society if your wife used her intelligence to cure cancer or teach inner city children to read??

So you're suggesting that we go back to the 19th century so that housewives can feel fulfilled... I'm sure many housewives would prefer to spend their time working at a part time job or taking care of their children rather than dying their own wool. And the modern conveniences are a big help to working parents...

Staying home and keeping house can also suck big time. I think that vacuuming and cooking pot roast for dinner would be pretty boring. The corporate scene can be pretty annoying sometimes, but it has one redeeming quality... a paycheck. Also, one should gear one's career toward one's talents.. If one isn't a corporate personality, there's lots of other cool jobs out there... Perhaps teaching in a university, being a freelance writer, becoming a doctor, opening a law office, etc....
