            -----------
            I was speaking of history, when women were not allowed
            to inherit.  It was very important that women married
            well, and not  for love.

            -----------
            Trying to pretend that in the few short years since after
            WWII (when many women joined the workforce en masse) that
            women can somehow magically catch up to male business own-
            ership is what's ludicrous.
