Your statistics aren't telling the whole truth on this issue. And you know that. And why should women go down into coal mines when they can get a college degree that lets them earn more than a coal miner? There are plenty of women in corporate boardrooms, so I don't know what point you're making there. And if those unskilled men went to college they wouldn't have to have those tough jobs, would they? I am not maoning about being a victim, I amn stating that historically women have suffered at the hands of the patriarchal society that we were born into. Times have changed, many attitudes have yet to change.
