BB, you didn't answer my question. Would you in a professional setting publicize your views of full-time professional women? Are you an owner of your firm? Do you hire women and take them away from child rearing or do you only hire men?

My reasoning is this. If you are so certain of the righteousness of your opinions stated in this thread, you shouldn't be scared to publicize them in the secular world, to your colleagues, male and female alike.

My reasoning is further that if you hire women to work full time at your firm, you're a hypocrite. You shouldn't be scared to engage in civil disobedience putting your beliefs into practice regardless of what Civil Rights laws you might violate. If you hire women believing what you believe you're like an OB who who speaks against abortion in private, but performs abortions at his clinic. I know abortion is a strong analogy, but I assume you ascribe great importance to your opinion on this issue. Following your reasoning, by hiring women to work full time you're harming children. I've got to assume you don't do that or you are truly a bad person.

Am I wrong?

I don't know. You tell me. You're the statistician.

I can tell you that I don't exactly believe in immaculate conceptions, although there was a girl in my high school who claimed to have gotten pregnant as a virgin, without removing her panties.

I'm not an engineer. I'm a Geologist specializing in stormwater. I work for myself as a private consultant. Most of my clients are construction companies along with a few engineers, architects, developers, landowners and government agencies.

For the most part the topic doesn't come up. Usually we're talking about the project we're working on. That's why it's called "work". Usually when we're chit chatting, it's about the industry or the inefficency of government.

Let's see if that response will put an end to SU's ridiculous "gotcha" he tried to snare you with.
