    Nebraskan,

    I agree that some kids can make it ok without a parent around. I do understand that economic restraints sometimes make it extremely difficult to make it on one salary. But, in the same breath, we have people living in 4000 sf houses, driving two late model cars, go out and eat at least twice a week and have to take the European vacation, have to stop are Starbucks everyday and then complain they both have to work in order to survive. I think that is crap!.

    The other important factor in raising children today is no matter if you can have one parent at home or not, quit trying to be there friend. You are there parent. They won’t hate you forever even if they say so. Get over it and do your job.

    Imagine that. Men harnassed electricity, founded GE, built it up and guided it for decades, inventing and marketing its products, but somehow it became a male dominated culture. How’d that happen?

    And the girls wonder why the boys won’t let the girls play.

    What’s disturbing about this is the fact that a “high ranking”, albeit mal-content, within G.E. is behind the suit. While there is a “law” involved, the fact remains that men lead the way in business and industry for centuries and the ladies aren’t going to change that paradigm anytime soon. That’s not being sexist either, just reality.

    What’s the law, you can’t demote female employees?

    If GE was built solely by men, it was the result of systematic exclusion of women (and minorities) simply because they were women (or minorities) and not because men are innately superior. And even if the individual men who founded GE were superior to every woman ever born, you’re still an idiot.
