Sons and Daughters

If ever we feminists think for a moment that liberal men are with us, we only have to read Peter H. King’s column (April 22) “What a Son Should Know About This.” The letter is politically correct as far as capital punishment is concerned, but why oh why is the letter addressed only to “Dear Son” since he does refer to his son’s sister? Does Mr. King think that only his son will “toss the death penalty”? Perhaps his daughter will be an attorney, a judge, an elected official, perhaps even governor. The salutation to “Dear Son” bespeaks a total lack of awareness of what women are doing and will do in the future.
