[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] Arrrghhh, there's too much to catch up and to read! Two pages in 7 hours? Mannnn.... UM: Well yeah, you're right. It takes two to tango. But guilt "should" be shared. Omega: Well for once we agree. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG] Have fun finding a way to objectively test for "rational" and "responsible" though. I wish you luck. SCSI: Your last post makes reasonable (loosely defined) sense until: Problem 1: "The Indutrial Age is ending." Yes, but only in industrialized nations that a) are heading into the Information Age and b) can afford to import the majority of their commercial goods, in exchange for services/information. Factories are only less integral in N. America because they are being "farmed" out to third-world countries for many reasons. Therefore,even using your argument, women's rights would only be limited in the Western world. Problem 2: "...and we can see ourselves in a similar situation to that before the industrial revolution; woman are taking their place back at the home." a) Do you even have statistics backing up your dubious claim that women would depart from the office workplace any faster then men? b) In an [i] information [/i] based economy, women would have access to many more jobs than in even an industrial age economy. Employers often don't even see the people they hire, so gender is less of an issue, not more of an issue. Also, the decline of physical labour means that the genders are on more of an equal footing in the job market, not less. c) Its a universally accepted fact, that after the baby boom-echo generation, the single largest growing commercial demographic is that of single women. Women that have focused on their careers, have not married, and thus have plenty of money to spend. How do you reconcile this trend with the one that you claim is happening? [/QB][/QUOTE]
