Nope. I'm not advocating censorship.

I wouldn't lecture someone for that

Or just one balanced article that explored both sides of the question?

How revolutionary would that be?

Once again I say that we quickly find a study about women in the workforce and men at home just so it can all be equal and Gary stop whining. Though he claims he wants balance yet opposes Gay marriage....you think thats balance Gary? Think its balance that gay's cant get married but others can?

What question? The article was about the findings of a study...it wasn't an opinion article. As a matter of fact, if it was, both sides still wouldn't need to be presented. Not everyone wants to pander to the most sensitive of all readers. If I'm going to write an article on the findings of a study, I will write on THAT, I wouldn't be writing a point-counterpoint. If I was writing an opinion article, I would do just that, write my opinion. Not everything has to be equal happy land. That's the harsh truth.

Most single non-American women and certainly single French women will be offended
