Perhaps you should find your certainty by joining the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints and get yourself a couple of wives never exposed to television, magazines or radio.

Agreed. His post reads like an option from a satirical political test I saw, "Face it. Men were meant to be Neanderthals and women their caretakers". Perhaps Hobo should read a bit of European history. Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great and Margaret Thatcher are all examples of women who were far stronger leaders by
nature than most men. A person's level of leadership ability is largely inborn, I believe, but it bears no relationship to gender. The reactionary response would be, "Then why did men do most of the leading historically?". The gender inequality of societal leadership is residual from a time in which, for evolutionary purposes, physical size and strength were of great importance, making men, who are usually larger and stronger, the leaders by default. We now live in a mechanized and intellectual world. There is no reason for men to have any more leadership roles than women. I write as a man, by the way.

Ignore Righty. He is just trolling to irritate other posters. Righty posts bizarre, irrelevant insults in threads on just about every subject.
