Your conclusion is undeniable, Dr. Klein. But I’m not convinced that the causal agent hypothosized in your premise valid. What/Who is your sample?

Deni—-Both the dollars and the attention…he also wants us to go attack Iran right now…so that with all the misogynistic stuff is to be pited…he obviously has not a lick of brains. Pitty the poor women who were dumb enough to get stuck with that. 411 M.K. Women owned small business employ more people than all of the Fortune 500 combined. Many of us are entrepreneurs so we are totally independant from males…esp ones like you. http://www.pbs.org/livelyhood/honeywebought/bosstrends.html

I am trying to understand your comment, is it because since the “beginning” God (Male figure) said to the woman: I shall greatly increase the pain of your pregnancy, in birth pangs you will bring forth children, and your craving will be for your husband, and he will dominate you” and history shows that women from the beginning were basically doomed to suffer the oppression of man and treated with less respect and value and you are simply glad you were created a man or what is really behind your comment?

If you’re like me and most people I know—-you won’t listen—-so do what you feel you have to at the time and you’ll have to learn the hard way like I did. But I’m still here—so maybe I learned something along the way. Follow your dreams.

Play nice with the other kids. Clean up after yourself. Look before you leap. Get up. Dress up. Show up.

Question everything you have learned up to this point, especially anything told to you by your peers or in school. Just because most people have done something one way doesn’t necessarily mean that it is right for you.

21 - you are a thinking adult be honest in your life… rest will follow. Wake up it is still a man’s world but you must TRY and make a difference. Remember every good deed is a reward in itself. Giving and sharing is powerful - volunteer your time to worthy projects.

Be your own best friend. Be as kind, thoughtful and supportful to yourself as you are to those you love.

Moderation in all things. Even moderation. Be passionate about something. Be brave.

Joan’s post implies that it is disconcerting to see a young person focused on “work” and not “play”, or possibly more nicely, exploration. My first reaction was, Yeah, get out there and pursue your bliss, but then I thought about what I have learned from my own children, and changed my mind. I think the most important thing is for a child to know who they are and what makes them happy or satisfied. It is different for every child. So, my advice would be, Know yourself and listen to yourself, and to the grandmothers and mothers I say, trust your child to know themselves, or help them to understand that we are all different and there is no prescription for a happy life.

If you don’t have an education, get one! Do something you love and the rewards will follow. Stop and smell the roses.
