Re:Attitudes towards women (Score 1)

Some women do not feel driven to find a man to rescue them, take care of them, and then have their babies wash their laundry and clean their toilets for the rest of their lives. But the women who DO feel that way should be allowed to live the lives that make them happy. They should not be forced to go to college, become lawyers, and wait until they're 45 to have one mildly retarded child.

I'd agree on the "happiness" part--but these alternatives are highly artificial. You've implied two main tracks, finding a man or becoming a lawyer, and stated them in terms that are culturally determined, not biologically forced. Sure, reproduction is a biological imperative, but different cultures (including the US now vs. the US a couple generations ago) have evolved and reinforced different standards for carrying out that imperative.

If we turn this around, incidentally, do men have only two main options between which to choose, and if so, what are they? Or are men locked into a single domination scheme? Highly doubtful. The problem with many varieties of "feminism" is that they achieve their goals only by incurring a pendulum swing and vilifying "oppressors." Similarly, in your so-generous restoration of domestic choice to women, don't take away choice from men and leave them only with masculine insecurity....

(Btw, why are finding a man and going to college mutually exclusive in your terms? There're quite a few women who want--and manage--to do both. And what about the men who want to have children but can't find women with whom to have any?)
