Frankly, damyanti, I have not romanticized history, I was part of it. No, I wasn't on the Titantic. lol. And I'm not blaming other women. Perhaps you should reread my posts (all of them).

I do, however, think the "militants" and the "terrorists" have a great deal to do with the demise of chivalry. It was to a point where men would actually ask, "Is it okay for me to hold the door for you?" Poor guys had absolutely no clue what was and was not proper anymore. And I don't think their fear was brought about by other men out there.

Long before you, there were women out there holding pregtigious positions that they worked hard to get. It was their "choice" to do so. As to your last statement, I think you confirmed what some of us said, about being looked down upon by "radicals" whose belief is that any woman, who "chooses" to stay at home is nothing.

Thank you, denuseri, for pointing out the many (more than five) responsibilities that homemakers hold without renumeration. I, for one, chose career over marriage and had to do battle on a daily basis "breaking" into a man's world. It wasn't an easy task, but I learned early on that I caught more flies with honey. *winks* Later on in life, I did marry. Strangely, a man with very old-fashioned ethics.

As far as the way boys are being brought up, I would hope that women being equal doesn't mean that boys should treat them rudely; however, I have yet to see equality in the work place or in the home, but I have observed boys treating little girls disrespectfullly.
