Give it up Thrawn, how silly can you get?
Ok, we go your way. I'm sure that we can find 3-5 (maybe even more than 13) strong enough women (who had always dreamed of being a fire
person), among the 3.5 billion.
I saw some training "firePERSON'S" documentaries, where the female "firePERSON", could not even hold a ladder nor a hose. Actually SHE was holding on to the hose, but the hose was painting the sky and SHE was flying holding for HER life, not thge victims. Thanks a lot, remind me to hire my own, personal firefigting unit.
Men and women are not inter-changable. We are made this way, women have a role it this reality and men a role in it it too.
"Two Mommies" and/or "Two Daddies" are not not a substitute for a Mother and a Father. It is nothing to do with a gay/lesbian thing. It is just that Fathers and Mothers pay attention to different things in life, and there will be more then a few occasions in your life, where your own child will ask you (or your spouse only) to accept a secret (don't tell Mom/Dad thingie),
Common courtesy and politeness = yes
PC = crap
