Oh, okay--I'll buy that.  So, you agree that they have the ability to do so
today, right?  We can't base political agenda on the [distant] past, can we?
I mean...I guess wer're gonna have to give every Indian a free ride, since
it was our forefathers of 500 years past that claimed this land for
themselves.

Also...let's not forget about the blacks.  My goodness...since my great,
great, great-grandfather may have had slaves, by all means--let's make
present-day people pay for it.  See what I'm getting at?

WW-II...which we entered in 1941...which was 56 years ago...I'd say that's
more than a few 'short' years ago.  That 2 complete generations (to the age
of 30).  You can't even begin to compare the women of today to the turmoil
of the people of 1940.

Hmmmm.  I think you're asking the impossible.  But, not for the reasons that
you would conjure.

Probably the main reason is that there simply aren't as many working women
and working men.  How can you expect to see the 'same amount' of female
managers and such, as there are men, when there aren't even enough working
women to equal that?  That doesn't make sense.

To see the equal 'number' of women in the same jobs would mean that the
majority of 'working women' would have to be in leadership/managerment, etc.
How fair is THAT??  Why should the majority of working women be in those
positions?  Shouldn't it be fair?  Let's say there's 10% of total working
men in managerment--then, to be fair, there should be no more than 10% of
working women in management...true?  Anything more, and THAT would be
unfair.
