I see.  Well, there's a black man who is an FBI agent who has
endured hell being harassed by his fellow agents because of
his color.  He hasn't quit his job, as you seem to feel he should.
There are Oriental students at universities all over this country
who are being harassed on the basis of their ethnic origin and
are going through hell, but I don't see you suggesting they drop out of
school.  Many women are going through hell because of harassment
by employers and coworkers, particularly if they have nontraditional
jobs, but that doesn't mean they have to stay home and have babies
and not work, or only do traditionally female types of work.  Please
keep your flames in alt.flame from now on, particularly if they
involve telling women or minorities to get lost if they don't like
being discriminated against or harassed.
