Nope; I think I've admitted it was just my suspicion,
did I not? Surely your not suggesting that we, who
post, can't post our unsubstantiated opinions, labeling
them as such.

----------
They might indeed. Those with a vested interest in
patriarchy need to support it, unless they seek a
more ethical choice. It often means giving up privilege.
I know that from ......personal experience. :]

---------------
PKers have stated one of their seven rules as
female submission to men, with a male submission
to god; what more do I need?

------------
What is "inadmissible" the fact that PK has, as
one of its tenets, female submission to men?

Ah, but is it EQUAL COMMITMENT....OR SEXISM?

----------
What govt. program do you see as CORRECTING
sexism? If you're talking about AA, how
is PK going to make sure women have equal
opportunity in the workforce? I don't want
to be protected right out of my job.
