I don't remember ever mentioning women's lib in any of my postings concerning
the question of the rising divorce rate.  Parhaps the author of the above
posting feels that way, but I have never indicated in my postings dealing with
divorce rates that women's lib was causing the problem.  I have also never
mentioned that I believe women's lib was not causing the problem.  In other
words, I simply never brought up that issue.
