Out of the Mouths of Babes …

… come the stark realities of feminism?

Yesterday, from minivan rear:

7 yob: Hey mom?

Me: Yeah bud?

7 yob:  Do you think one of the reasons a woman has never been the president is because women are mommies, so they just don’t have enough time to be president?

Me: Well … I guess that’s part of the reason, but that’s changing.  A lot of men, like dad, do a lot of the parenting, so women should have more time to run for president in the future.

7 yob: Yeah, but men can’t get pregnant.

I just let it drop there. I didn’t have time for this debate in the car while shuttling them home from school  for a quick dinner before we rushed back out to gymnastics.
