    Amen from over here, too

    For Christ's sake, if women want to exchange their souls in exchange for some bogus sense of status -- which, BTW, they apparently define precisely in the proscribed vocabulary of the patriarchy -- have at it. Let me stay home and cook dinner. I promise I'll get real good at it!

    Of course, 99 out of 100 women now enjoy the "privelege" of jaded toil in a sunless cubicle in order to stave off homelessness. I'm sure they say a silent prayer to Andrea Dworkin daily!
