To all those who think women belong in the home
Here's something to make male chauvenists' head spin:
http://www.paloaltodailynews.com/art...-9-katz-column 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.

President Hinckley noted a similar trend in college enrollment a year ago.
http://lds.org/conference/talk/displ...646-23,00.html What does this have to do with whether or not women should stay in the home?

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.

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

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.

What this has to do with "male chavunists" who think women should stay at home is not so "self-evident," but if you refuse to "engage" then I guess it'll remain a mystery.
