To the Editor:

Seventeen pages of your Oct. 7 issue (including the cover) were dedicated to “Women in Business,” more than 25 percent (one quarter) of your newspaper.

Congratulations. You have confirmed that America has accomplished what Abraham Lincoln is credited with having said could not be done: we have strengthened the weak by weakening the strong. Lincoln’s implied reasoning was, of course, you cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong and expect acceptable or beneficial results.

Be that as it may, the war on women is officially over, the war on men is in full progress and gaining momentum across the nation.

For those of us who have sons, grandsons and great grandsons, that’s not good news. I have 10 great grandsons, the oldest of which has (or soon will) enter the workforce. These young men have some well-placed cow chips in their paths of which they have no knowledge and that I will not have the chance to teach them (from my own experience of having stepped in most of them) how to avoid.
