: Am I alone in thinking that was an incredibly sexist and 
: prejudiced post?

: --Erika

incredibly sexist and prejudiced?  Jeez, all he wanted was a tutor for his
kid (or for someone else's, maybe).  I wouldn't go jumping all over him
calling him sexist in front of all of new england.  You don't even know why
he wants a woman.  Maybe he wants to teach his kid sex ed and figured that
a woman would be a better teacher.  

At the most, I'd say it's _just a tiny bit_ (emphasis on tiny) sexist, but
hey, we dont' live in a utopia anyway and not everything's perfect
<grin>. If you wanna talk about sexism and prejudice, I'm sure there are
much better forums for debate than bu/mit/ne.forsale, and much more
important issues that need discussion than whether Arash's 4th grader needs
a woman or a man for a tutor.
