Quote of the day

I suppose the most important thing, the heaviest single factor in one's life, is whether one's born male or female. In most societies it determines one's expectations, activities, outlook, ethics, manners - almost everything. Vocabulary. Semiotic usages. Clothing. Even food. Women. . . women tend to eat less. . .

Even where women participate equally with men in the society, they still after all do all the childbearing, and so most of the child-rearing.
