As we've discussed before, "marriage" isn't a human right.

Actually, most "civil rights" have been voted on.

So long as the state denies it to us... it's a right, or better, a civil liberty.

>>> I am happily aware of gender differences, but what opportunities should be segregated by gender? Other than possibly wet nurse*, I can't think of any. Please share!

Pro-football player...pro-hockey player...ultimate fighter...

* I actually haven't heard of wet nurses outside of Victorian novels, but I guess they could still exist.

Probably not since they invented Similac

<< So you're an advocate of children being raised by strangers outside of the home?

>>> If that is what works for their family, it works for me.

Sadly, it isn't working out that well for society.

>>> And it need not be strangers, though if it someone knew, a stranger is only a stranger in the beginning.

Daycares rarely become more "friendly" than your average school...which isn't very "friendly."

<< The company I work for has that. Interestingly, men get two weeks paid leave...and women get two months.

>>> It should be equal.

Imagine that.
