To all those who think women belong in the home
 

Here's something to make male chauvenists' head spin:

Elite colleges are reaching a tipping point wherein applications from qualified women and men with comparable credentials is reaching a 60:40 percent ratio. Men are becoming affirmative action cases.

You won't find many on this site, you'll need to fish elsewhere.

HEre's another article on the same subject.

President Hinckley noted a similar trend in college enrollment a year ago.

What does this have to do with whether or not women should stay in the home?

I disagree. Goatnapper, Indy, Ute4Evever, Tex, among others have expressed the view that a woman's place is in the home at least as far as they are concerned.

Did I?

A premise for your position that they should stay in the home is that they are better suited and therefore happier with domesticity than a man. (This must necessarily be your premise unless you think a woman should be pigeonholed into a way of life for which she is less suited and that will make her miserable because this is God's mandate.) The college entrance data belies this premise/assertion.

"My position"? I don't recall stating a position on this topic yet.

I would be interested to understand why you think female college enrollment rates has anything to do with whether or not a woman "should" stay in the home.

It's not conclusive. It's a strong indicator that a majority of women should be in the workforce for the good of society as well as their own economic well being and security as well as happiness. I don't need to spell it out to you why the statistic is relevant as to women's proper place, generalizing of course. It suffices to note that those hiring for elite jobs count a degree from an elite university as a leading indicator of any candidate's suitablity for the job.

Tex, are you sure you're not a lawyer? You seem to be so at ease spouting sophistry.

You're arguing with me as though I've disagreed with you, but I haven't (yet).

I'm genuinely curious: why in your mind does high female enrollment naturally lead to the conclustion that "majority of women should be in the workforce for the good of society as well as their own economic well being and security as well as happiness."

It seems like a non sequiter to me. High female enrollment could mean highly educated mothers at home, could it not? I don't see how you get from one to the other.
