Well, I think I did to certain extent in saying that the ball always lands in a woman's court. Some of my own anger about the past. My apologies.
So let me correct that. I understand that women, in many situations in our society, are virtually powerless. There are many women who live in poverty because they chose to keep their baby and I do not wish to attack those women. I have the utmost respect for women who make such a sacrifice of themselves. It is a very tough road and I have met many women who have worked full time jobs, raised their kids and gotten a college education without any help from the father. They make me look like a lazy slob.
I agree, Angela. I think we need to look at the issues as a society, not as an attack on women. We won't get very far if we can't get past the rhetoric.
