>A good example of this is that no matter how accomplished or rich a man is, he will probably be asked to laid down his life for children and women. That's not discrimination, but grim pragmatism

Once upon a time that was true - but since everybody is supposed to be equal now, you can bet that I am not going to do that. And I don't think that many men are doing that either.

It still a biological fact that men are expendable. Men have enough sperms to probably make lot of women pregnant, but women can only bear children 9 months at a time and be pretty vulnerable at that.

When it come to ensuring the survival of human race, you know what the commander/leader/whoever in charge, male or female, is going to choose.

Does it sucks to be a male too? Yep, but it also rock to be a male sometime too.
