Sexism alive and well on the Seventh Circuit

Thanks to Stone Court for pointing out this choice bit of sexism that I somehow missed: Judge Richard Posner writes that Harvard president Larry Summers’s suggestion that women on average are not as willing to invest as much time in a career as men should not have been controversial because "Women who want to have children, as most do, must expect to devote more time to child care that men do. "

Thank you Judge Posner, you prehistoric freak. Why is it that women must expect to do most of the child care? Because men do not know how? Because men's jobs are more important than women's? Obviously, Posner cannot bear to drag his sexist ass out of the 50's and 60's of his youth
