It is profoundly irrational and utterly self-defeating to try to wish away a natural fact, which is what gender-war feminists have been doing for decades. Miss Young is generally more sensible than this; perhaps she was having a bad day.

Someone has to say it: Women are the weaker sex.
What you should have said is "Women are the physically weaker sex". Mentally, emotionally, verbally, etc they are not weaker at all.
