Show 'Battle of sexes over on KUED Women are moving toward more profound, deeper relationships with men-away from "ritualized" associations, according to Dr. Joseph Katz, orofessor of human development at State University of New York at Stony Brook. Dr Katz, who says men and women are relating as people, not members of opposite sexes, will air his views during a "Science and Society" special on KUED Friday. Refuting the "biological argument" assigning care of children to women, Dr. Katz said that today most uomen give birth to their last child by age 26, leaving a great deal of free time for other activities. Healso noted that many women are "ill-suited" to be mothers and therefore raise children poorly, while working women spending less time with their youngsters are more sincerely interested in their welfare. A psychoanalyst from Germany, Dr. Katz forsees men with working wives taking three-quarter-time jobs in order to spend more time in the home. He sees a mutual "teaching and deepening of relations" between men and women in colleges today that not only involves sexual affection but opportunities for personal growth and emotional understanding. College men on the whole, he commented, expect to spend more time in the home, since technology and affluence have opened the way for women to develop interests in addition to the home. For too long, men have been "deprived of helping to rear children," he admonished. |
