Stay at home moms and working moms: I am worried about our daughters.

In "Get to Work," I speculated that, with the Census Bureau reporting a dropoff in the number of educated mothers working, "It is only a matter of time until people figure out that women aren't a good bet for education and opportunity. Conservatives are already asking why society should spend resources educating women with only a 50 percent return rate on their stated goals."

Mommybloggers responded with a storm of postings denying that they had any responsibility to other women in the society and asking why they should care about anyone other than their husbands and children. Other critics told me employers would never do anything that violated the Civil Rights Act and I should just hush my mouth lest I give them ideas.

Well, even if you care only about your own biological family, news bulletin -- girls are children too. And here, as surely as if I could see the future, just what I worried about has started to surface.
