Seriously? Haha, show me a study for that one, pal.

*sigh* Didn't I point out that I didn't care which sex took on each "traditional" role? I like them because they promote steady, stable homes for children. They allow for homemaking in a way that the non-agricultural way of living we keep now does not. This is coming from a woman who tried being a stay at home for a few months and hated it. My point is, children do well when they are in the care of one or both of their parents, not being shuffled to a sitter or a daycare. I like that. Also, I fail to see how that is not splitting things 50/50. Staying at home is harder than any other job I have ever done and that is saying a lot, considering I went from welding to being a chef.

It would be illogical. I'm not afraid of women because the average woman can't kick my ass. That being said, I'm not really afraid of one sex more than the other. I wouldn't leave my kid in a bathroom full of any adults.
Quote:I'm not saying we should start sharing bathrooms, but I get very sick of people acting like modern crime is one sided on a basis of gender.
I love it when arguments devolve into these kind of off-hand accusations. Who the hell acted like modern crime is one-sided? I'm willing to bet I can cite specific examples of more female killers than any other person in this thread. That's just assuming that no one else researches historic crimes on a regular basis.
