No, that is not what I said

R.L. — 1/30/2006 3:32:53 PM (archived)

If a woman chooses to be someone that takes care of kids that is fine- it is VERY valuable to society and I think it is probably VERY rewarding on a personal level...

But to expect, or DEMAND that a woman be a traditional 'granny' is silly- I know many women that are/could be 'grannies' - they enjoy their work and do a LOT to advance technology... They don't have time to babysit their children's children.

I am just saying that these women have the right to their careers, and they shouldnt be made to feel guilty because they are too busy to babysit.

That is my only point.
