I don't think discrimination was the intent here. I believe a person has every right to be choosey about whom they live with. Calling this gender discrimination is ridiculous. If it is discrimination, then we're probably all very guilty of it. I happen to discriminate against homosexuals and child molestors when I choose a baby-sitter. -- Robert There is evidence that the brain is like a computer. If that's true, then there really aren't any stupid people. Just people running DOS.
