"If the cost of having a profession for a woman is that she's too busy to spend time with her husband, then we seriously have to rewrite whatever description of American society it is that makes professional life so time consuming that you can't take a day or two out to support your spouse in pursuing a dream."

Spare me. What you're saying is that she should have a nice little job where she can make some pin money, and the rest of the time she should be strapping on the pearls and the apron and looking adoringly at Howard.

What I'd like to see, is for all supporters of candidates, regardless of who they support, stand up on their hind legs and bellow support for Dr. Judith Steinburg Dean. Bellow our collective disaproval of the stupid roles women have been stuck in - and our willingness to rewrite them.

Unfortunately, I know that dream won't materialize. After 3 years of posting here, I know how much sexism exists amongst those who call themselves liberals.
