BACK TALK

THE VOTES ARE in, and our callers agreed that men have it easier than women in society. Here's what they had to say:

Men have it somewhat easier. Some men don't even take care of their own kids. They'll have the kids with the woman and then they'll leave. The government tries to make them pay child support, but money does not change a diaper. - Paul McPherson, 12, seventh-grader, Larkspur Middle School.

I think guys have it easier. - Patricia Owens, ninth-grader, Kellam High School.

I think men have it easier because they have more advantages and more opportunities than we do. - Christine Keller, 15, 10th-grader, Kellam High School. by CNB
