Another proud moment in the annals of feminism:

When [Justice] Ginsburg was a law professor at Columbia University in New York, she recalled, she got frequent calls from her son’s school because he was misbehaving.

“One day, I was particularly wary, and I said, ‘This child has two parents. I suggest you alternate calls,’ ” Ginsburg said. After that, the school called less often. “They were much more concerned about taking a man away from his job than a mother away from hers,” Ginsburg said.
