^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not even biology is the same -- due to feminism, the pill etc.
(Btw it's interesting/scary to note the affinity between feminism & eugenics,
see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger )
It's really amazing how much Keith is stuck in the cave-men PR. Next thing

If not, Keith has some explaining to do on this singular difference between
