SLOUCHING TOWARD THE MILLENNIUM
The introduction to “Slouching Toward the Millennium,” by Jack Jones (Dec. 24/31), stated: “We thought it might be wise to ask for help in preparing” a story on the next decade and so turned to “specialists” for predictions about the future. When seeking assistance on the environment, race relations, education, art, business, politics, religion, medicine, sports, science and world affairs, you asked men. When asking about food, fashion and “trends,” you asked women.
Thus, one prediction needs no “specialist.” Sexism continues to thrive.
