Michael,

Thank you for that important message. Art is very competitive, and it would be awful to have the men and women fighting each other over the best commissions. Who can guarantee a steady flow of commissions? It may not be healthy to get too stressed-out over such things. As we all know, many times women are the sole providers for their families. A recent study shows that there are many more homeless elderly women then men, the reason being that these women did not think of their own future but put their families, including their children's college education, first. Yes, I know that is not directly related to art, but a career that is flexible in the hours and pays well is invaluable to a woman thinking of her family. I cannot speak for the men. I don't wish them any harm, but I wouldn't say I depend on one to provide for me in my old age, if I should live so long.
