has women's lib gone overboard ?

I am also thankful for the efforts of my sisters in their past efforts on behalf of women but I agree that these days some take it too far. There is no need for hostility towards men...the war is long over. I don't believe that women HAVE to be able to do everything that a man can do but I also believe that every woman has the right to do anything that she wants as long as she's capable. One recent example is Danica Patrick, NASCAR's newest race car driver. She's had a great career so far racing Formula 1 but, until now, stock car racing...and the king, NASCAR, had been a man only sport. I would never insist that NASCAR have a woman on the racetrack just because she's a woman, but Danica is a talented driver and so I'm glad we live in a time where she is able to be treated equally based on her skills and her talents.

hi mrswalz I am also thankful for the earlier womens lib and for the idea that working women are not some horrible apparition but are a logical thing. I never really rebelled against men as men but at the idea that a man was a super being and we were a lower species. now I think that its wonderful that a man is a man and a woman a woman, and they do need each other . No I dont think that a woman has to be able to do everything a man can do, but they should be able to support themselves and to marry with the idea that they can and may work anytime they are needed. after all if a man is taken ill and unable to work, whats he going to do if he has a fluff brain for a wife who doesn't have any workskills at all. we expect a man to work if his wife is unable to,so why not a wife to work when a man is disabled? Its her marriage too, and her love of her mate that will push her into returning to the work force.
