Clara, you were too quick...you missed a lengthy edit...tee hee

Yes, I've been overly aggressive lately...LOL.

But, anyway, I agree with your view that many of the differences between males and females are simply carryovers from the ancient past, embodied in genetic code, religious codes, and cultural traditions.

There is no doubt that the unique qualities of men are of lesser importance today than say a century ago. The statistically significant advantages of greater physical strength and visually-oriented perceptive abilities are losing their edge in a world that has become a huge technological organism more dependent on information, knowledge, communication, organization and cooperation for its survival. Many of the attributes needed to function effectively in this new age are feminine attributes, and bio-women are their main source.

It's too early to predict the long term consequences of this rather young cultural development. The nature of things is to return to the mean statistically. Large species are always more vulnerable to extinction than the small, if for no other reason than they are so few in number.

But, enough philosophy. It won't change much in my life time, anyway. I hope.
