They didn't let you wear pants under your dress? LOL here they did, and

every friday we could wear pants. That's probably why by the time i was in

3rd or 4th grade they'd already dropped the dress 'dress code'

The old idea was that HE earned the money and had done his share, and

he was the boss, and the rest was up to her. I thought that had changed, and

I think it has to some extent but there could sure be a lot of improvement.

Especially when the woman stays home, he doesn't value that. I know my

daughter said her husband would have liked her to be there to wait on him

hand and foot, keep the house spotless, all that stuff and make at least $30,

000 a year doing it. He also planned to retire at 55 but wanted her to

continue working till 65. Now we know why he is currently the EX.

Oh puh-leeze! I've always had options. So did my mother and every female of

my acquaintance all my life. History is filled with great women ...

scientists, mathematicians, artists, writers, statesmen ... you name it! We

women have always run things, as any Jane Austen novel illustrates. I'm

tired of all these great women being dealt with today as if they never

existed. The only thing that I can discern that women's libbers have to

offer is some sick need for male affirmation. We women have got along just

fine without male affirmation in the past and I see no need for it now. And

don't get me started on what women's lib is attempting to do to the English

language! Women's lib is nothing but a middle class fad. The upper and lower

classes have no need for it. Never have.

granny, no women's libber because she is not willing to surrender her

superior power for " equality. "
