6. I consider myself fairly leftist, not that it matters to

some extreme feminists. Fortunately, most women aren't very extreme, though they have pretty solid views on reproductive rights, access to more occupations, and running their own lives, as well they should. Fewer & fewer retire to the corner and smile deferentially, and that is good. It doesn't threaten me; in fact, I would be uneasy if women were like so many I saw 40+ years ago, not prone to throw open the hood, get dirty, fire off a box at the range, or speak out in argument & discussion. Women, IMO, will be running things a generation after I'm gone, and they better be ready for it.
