"speak for"??? gee, oh esteemed soother of troubled psyches, I don't "speak for" anyone...I just draw on my now overwhelming(age, you know) store of observations of LO these many years and report on what is obvious to anyone who hasn't been running lambent through too many hurricanes recently ;>)

There I was, attempting to support, as I always have, the improvement of opportunities and consideration for various groups (NOT just women), while trying to recognize the inherent differences in perceived ambitions ....and what do I get? Demands for facts and statistics! Cor, blimey! I didn't ASK 270,000 folks their ultimate goals...that would have taken more time than hollowing a 12" chunk of Live Oak!



but I did find this: *grin*...data on applications to Law Schools

(yeah, women ARE finally applying in 'almost' the same numbers as men)....Now, what precise % follow thru and graduate and seek to become judges, I'm not sure has been researched, and though it's probably higher that those who seen to drive in the INDY 500, I'd venture that it is still lower than for men. As Bobert might say, "That's my opinion, an' I'm stickin' to it"
