SAE, it sounds like you are blaming women for the decline, as you see it, of the family and morality. I don't think that is fair. Don't the men have a job to do in terms of family structure and morality? Do you think the divorce rate is what it is because women have jobs? I am certainly not faulting you that you personally would prefer to have a wife who stays home with the kids, but it sounds like you're saying more than that. I also don't think that a woman being employed is all about money and "productiveness" -- I think that it is about independence, which is *very* important to some people. As a side note, not all women even want to have children.

BTW, I have to give props to all the women on this board who have responded so eloquently and thoughtfully.
