... Do the math!  How many children do you need to have in 
>order to have two surviving employed sons? 


Pull your claws back in.  I am not commenting either way on the conditions
at the root of the logic, nor am I making a moral judgement about the women
who make these decisions or teach the logic to their children.  I am simply
saying this aspect of the culture is sad because it doesn't work and only
makes a woman's chances of surviving even slimmer.
