I'll meet your 'Huh?' and raise!

Do you deny, Mike, that the majority of women live in households with men and that, in most such households, the incomes are at least partially combined?

OTOH, do you think most, or even many, Blacks live in households with whites with whom their incomes are combined in any way?

I imagine that "bimbos" of both sexes would have trouble seeing the difference, but not subscribers to this list.
