I think that for all of the dangers of technology spreading, I think it is more dangerous in some ways that it doesn't.

I have white friends who have the Confederate flag on their license plates, and I have no issue with that if they see that as a matter of heritage.

So women who wish to spend any substantial time at all with their own offspring will fall behind in their careers, and their earnings will be less.
