Poll on Parenting

The Times Poll was highly discriminatory toward working women, as evidenced by the timing and structure of the survey questions (June 13). For example, although respondents were asked their views about working women’s parenting capability and emotional connection to their children, noticeably absent were questions along those same lines about working men. This survey only serves to perpetuate the notion that women should stay at home and are largely held responsible for the moral decay of our youth.

As long as we remain trapped in this narrow framework, it prohibits us from fully understanding and confronting the complexity of the painful and distressing events of Littleton.
