We do more in other ways. When I was married in addition to working outside the home I cooked three meals a day, cleaned the house, did the laundry, homeschooled the children, mowed the lawns, took the cars to the car wash and mechanic, ran all the errands, took the kids to tae Kwon do, music lessons, soccer, boy scouts, girl scouts, school and church activities while their dad sat in the garage and smoked pot all day.

spoken like a true cave man...women are in every one of those fields...and they are more dilligent,thourough,late less often,miss less days,get more production,break less and the list goes on and....i think we have become lazier and more dependant on women than ever....they step up to the plate faster than a man will...thats just my two cents...

jefferson stole the structure of government from the indians except he left out the council of elders and the council of women...this country owes more to women and indians than they car to admit..

I wish more of their structure for a harmonious society had been retained too....sigh

Is the modern Amer Indian woman completely removed now from their heritage and teachings of old ??
