What you have now said twice out in the public eye, is highly offensive to me. In my people, it is only natural to have large families, there is no blame here. It is an act of love, and if mother nature takes the wife after 1 child or 10, it is mother natures decision not the mans decision. 
Virtually every day in this world, ladies die from child birth, be it their 1st child or 10th, it is mother natures doing not the man's doing. 
Even with today's medical technology, even giving birth to a 1st child can result in her death, it happens! Facts of life lady! 
So you highly offend me and my large family every time you say such hateful things on this list. 

Your man hater comments are unwarranted on this email list. You wrongly presume any man forces his wife to have children, you never give it any darn thought that maybe she LOVED having children like a good many ladies do. 
My wife LOVED having children, she loved being pregnant, she loved raising the children. Do you ever once consider maybe any wife may also have such loving feelings? Who are you to judge others? 

Your man hater comments are highly offensive to me. Keep to the facts, and keep your personal bias out of the facts.

Subject: Re: [VA-HIST] THOMAS JEFFERSON'S LIFE HISTORY 

I amazes me the restrain shown by those who are not fooled by those trying 
to obfuscate the issue and diminish the well-known facts. Jefferson's 
"character" was not as "sterlings" as his apologists insist, even if we 
don't take the Hemings offspring into consideration. There is still the 
Betsy Walker affair, the pursuit of Maria Cosway, and the "load of hogwash" 
of his opinions on sexuality. I will repeat myself of a few days ago and 
remind that his beloved wife was killed by his unbridgled urges. Sterling 
charctor? He was just another man!
