Why is it still always about being married with kids?

Re: the supreme court justice nominee, Elena Kagan: what her mother said when she became the first female dean of Harvard Law.

Also disturbing are the questions of her sexual orientation. Whether she is gay or not, married or not, with or without child, it should not matter. What matters is can she do her job well?

Sometimes this world is dumb. I sure have been on the receiving end of ALL those questions in my life. So inappropriate. As if it matters. I guess it matters to the person who is asking the question.
