To Nicole Shield - I completely agree with what you said about
"anything that men traditionally do is given a higher value
than what women traditionally do". I actually started looking up
the numbers for the trend you gave as an example:
"Pediatricians do not earn as much as other doctors...
when more and more women started being pediatricians,
salaries went down". Right on!
To me FEMINISM means not the traditional definition about choices,
but that my value as a woman is of equal value of a man. So far
women can only hope for fairness - as Nicole pointed out:
"As long as status means "doing what men do", then women will never
gain it." A woman's value and everything she does carries less weight
from the start (whatever it might be).
Peggy Sanger said:"you never hear of zero population growth in most places that could really use it. The US is a pretty big place, we have room to spare. Other places on earth are not so fortuate and there seems to be no concern for current and future resources."
USA produces the bulk of world's waste. A single child here consumes as much resources as almost 400 children in Africa.
to everyone disclosing Italy vs Australia outcome! I was recording the game!!!!
Thank you so much for your input. As a Greek/Russian Orthodox atheist
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole discussion. But back to Ceej and Kaliope -
wish you, guys, were my friends, so I can have you over for dinner -
I'm a divine cook!
