Hmm... so I guess *men* would be better off staying at home raising the
kids too, right?  So why don't we _all_ just sit at home and watch the
little ones crawl around?

I suppose that's ridiculous?

About as ridiculous as saying that only one gender would benefit from
being a homemaker more than the other.  Feh!

Yah, and while you're at it, don't forget to keep up on the studies on
depression (documented to be more common in women) in which one of the
leading causes is _boredom_.

I'll post the study group that recently got published on this if I can find
the clipping (I _hope_ I save it!).  :)
