To repeat, Shari says,

"I also think that there are more young singles, who would like that than you might think."

Shari, you would be surprised how many young women have made the following "confession" to this old man:

"I know it's the wrong thing to say, but I am JEALOUS of those '50s women who stayed home and took care of their children."

I kid you not. They CONFESS this to me as if I were a priest of Political Correctness who can ABSOLVE them of this desire to be what Women's Libbers call "oppressed."

You can imagine what my answer is.

Can you imagine how much freedom that would be? The schools wouldn't be trying to raise your children for you. People wouldn't stand for half their income being taken. And, while most women probably wouldn't care to be exausted with childbearing, only two, just wouldn't be enough.

I thought all women were delighted to be liberated to a boss 50 hours a week.

Now they can come home and deny that they're angry just like the men.
