[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having a horrible reaction here. Opus Dei. All male. Only male teachers. Predominantly male authors studied. Ugh! What happens to the sisters of these boys? Are they taught to be subservient? Do they also attend private schools, or are public schools "good enough for THEM."

Opus Dei was founded by Josemaria Escriva, who stated, "Women needn’t be scholars—it’s enough for them to be prudent." Also: "That is why I am not afraid to say that women are responsible for eighty percent of the infidelities of their husbands because they do not know how to win them each day and take loving and considerate care of them."

I grew up as the only girl in an Opus Dei family with many sons. The boys went to expensive private schools and were provided with cars. My parents covered their university education. I went to public school and was on my own for college.

My job was to help look after my brothers. I was expected to cook and clean, while my brothers did no chores. From the time I was seven years old, I was told I would "have to leave school and look after the boys" if anything happened to my mother.

Please think about your daughters before considering a school like this. [/quote]

Bahahahaha! Nice try! Many Opus Dei families send their girls to Oakcrest at a whopping 30k per year and push academics so they can get into the equivalent of their “Catholic ivys”. From there, they chose what they want- a career, family or both. Isn’t that what feminism is about? Choice? [/quote]

My concern is about girls in these families who do NOT have choices. [/quote]
