To me, treating a woman differently simply because she is a woman just doesn't make logical sense. What if the division were based on something else that is purely anatomical, rather than on gender? What if all green people (so I don't step on any toes) were taught that it is common courtesy to hold the door open for all orange people, just because they are orange people? What if all green people were expected to stand when an orange person enters the room, give up their seat to an orange person, always let the orange person go first, tip their hats to an orange person, help the orange person put on and take off a coat, light the orange person's cigarette, and so forth, again just because they are orange people and that's the way it's done? What conclusions would we draw from this?
