The Jewish Talmud centuries ago asked who is the best taught, and then answers, "He that is taught under his mother."
God has uniquely made women to be mothers. An article in United Mainliner in 1980 says,
"Today the weight of scientific and medical opinion says that equality among men and women does not mean sameness. They not only look different, they act different think differently and no amount of dolls fo ...
