Some thoughts: Not all women are ladies. I am selective when I use it.

By the 80s, we were still reeling from the 60/70s femlib movement. I was an adult then and I could talk your ear off concerning the damage that it has done. However, that said, in the late 60s I joined Navy when men did not want us there, we were seen as whores, and Navy wives thought that we were after their husbands. There was a real need for women to be able to pursue jobs for which they gad aptitude. But like all movements, it became hijacked by radicals.

Everyone has 24 hours a day. You can never have it all and do it all well...but you can kill yourself trying.

Intriguing comment. I've been considering this angle -- that the unmarried, unattached women -- no matter how progressive the company -- are viewed as a threat.

Truly the most effective society is one where people marry young, and stay married -- and that means both parties doing the work to keep it going.
