Up until this post, you refused to make "this simple, common sense point."

I don't agree with the perspective that women are better suited for raising a family because they are naturally unsuited to the workplace. Thus, I agree with you that employer interest in highly educated females is indicative of their collective inherent ability.

If one is to make an argument that women are to stay at home, there are better reasons to support it than to say they are weak in the workplace.

Up until this post, I didn't take a position. So it would impossible for it to be "untenable."
