[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, lots of ways to start a business besides going to school for another degree. You could partner with someone complementary.  Might be a budget thing or maybe in his own experience his on the job stuff is not really leveraging or related to his degree...

Do you have daughters? Any indication or odd phrases towards them that are misogynist?[/quote]

Yes we have a daughter.  He is anti- anything girly, like pink, princess, jewelry, makeup, clothes, ballet, anything superficial- he calls all that stuff stupid  He does it in the spirit of protecting her from female stereotypes.  He's never once commented on her looks - that she's beautiful, pretty, etc, probably because he doesn't want her to feel her value lies in such superficial things. I disagree with him on all these fronts.  To me, being empowered as a woman, is being able to be whatever you want, wear whatever color you like, and to feel beautiful inside and out.  He absolutely adores her though, loves and respects her, admires her, is attentive to her, and is patient with her.  It just seems he is against girlish things, and he wants her not to be stereotypically girlish, like it's a terrible thing to be.[/quote]
