I'm an Obama supporter all the way.

And yet, I like this:

"Although we weren't able to shatter this highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it, and the light is shining through like never before." --Hillary Clinton

That would actually be why I included that line - it's still assumed that only women want to quit their jobs and be the person at home raising kids and taking care of a house. That's not fair to men OR women.

My reading comprehension's seriously off this morning. :P

In the vein of your comments regarding family leave, Wendy McElroy (http://wendymcelroy.com/news.php) (a self-described "individualist feminist", and editor of iFeminists.com (http://www.ifeminists.net/e107_plugins/enews/enews.php)) used to write a column carried on Fox News' website, and one of the issues she devoted a bit of attention to was the overwhelming bias toward mothers, rather than fathers, getting custody of children in divorce proceedings. I'll have to go digging for the articles, as it's been a while, and I can't say I rightly remember her arguments.
