            If that includes submission to her husband, that
            is exactly what I mean.

            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.
