What you posted just emphasizes a the very real and sexist problem that does exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707730.post-14730466136369186822007-05-29T15:59:00.000-04:002007-05-29T15:59:00.000-04:00I agree, Erica.

We've come so far in this world and are making new discoveries every day; yet, we still stereotype men and women based on what seems like prehistoric facts!

At least there are people out there encouraging this line of thinking in women.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751033459982853174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707730.post-10313413566278739302007-05-24T16:41:00.000-04:002007-05-24T16:41:00.000-04:00When I hear about the "boy crisis" and the obvious...When I hear about the "boy crisis" and the obvious stereotypes that it invokes, I cringe in disbelief. How can 1950's stereotypes still be so prevalent? Thank you for showing how misleading and deceptive the arguments are for the "boy crisis". <A HREF="http://www.womenstake.org/" REL="nofollow">Womenstake.org</A> also has a <A HREF="http://nwlc.blogs.com/womenstake/education/index.html" REL="nofollow">post debunking the myths </A> touted to support the idea of a "boy crisis" if you're interested.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471386422273959356noreply@blogger.com
