Message-ID: <91130.021458IO92142@MAINE.BITNET> Date: 13 May 91 20:13:49 GMT Sender: news@aero.org Organization: University of Maine System Lines: 32 Approved: nadel@aerospace.aero.org Status: R Originator: nadel@aerospace.aero.org During a conversation with a friend of mine who is a feminist. She (no xx), and I were discussing various topics. Finally I said to her... You're going to have to realize that there are women (no womyn) out there that *want* to be housewives or want to have children and *not* work while raising them. They want these things. Well, needless to say she didn't believe me, and started on this explaination about how if these women where *enlightened* about how they have been brought up wrong. I was amazed when she said this. She thought that any women that sayed at home with the children was *ignorant* and needed to see the other side of the fence, and once she did she would leap to greener pastures. Well, I'm not sure how many feminists believe this, but sorry folx. There are women who like their lives and their lives would make you sick. Also, if you want others to have an open mind to your beliefs you should be the first to have an open mind to theirs. *Note* This last post was intended to be general and not in the least an attack. Just pondering. ================================================================ James Gray "Don't drink T+T right after eating pudding. Trust me.
