Sophie,

The "feminist leader" I had in mind was Gloria Steinem as quoted in "Ms."
magazine.  Sorry, I can't give you the issue and page so you're welcome to
throw it out as an unsubstantiated claim.  I just rember her opinion
as being something to the effect that parents don't really know how to
raise children properly.  Obviously someone must raise them and I'm not
sure if these "experts" are in day care centers or what, though that seems
the logical conclusion.  I also have the impression (falsely perhaps) that
the leader of NOW (her name escapes me) has similar opinions on the family.
(Though that immpression is even less substantiated).

I definitely did not mean to give the impression that feminism supports
this view.  I'm sorry that I didn't word my response carefully.  I should
have said "some feminist leaders" and not implied that the "some" were
feminist leaders.  My apologies to all.

At any rate, I'm fairly confident that the opinion of the "some" will not
influence the opinion of the "many" too much on this issue.  But I still
feel the need to express my disagreement with regard to the influence they
*do* have.  Thanks for your word of balance.
