No need for the asbestos! This is very similar to the point I was trying to
make. Men and woman ARE different. But that doesn't mean that one gender
is better than the other - just different. And if no one gender is better,
then both genders should get equal treatment, which comes back to my point
about equalism. Equal opportunity, and equal status in society.
