Again, you're moving away from the point of the original post.

I understand the points you're making, but they don't in themselves constitute an argument of any substance. You've worked with boys, they've had it rough. You know some girls, they didn't. So?

I am certainly not naive and I really don't appreciate the condescention. I've raised 3 boys. Nor am I racist (I'm multi-racial) or in possession of a gender bias. Thanks for the dialogue, but ya know, beating a dead horse and all that.
