Unfortunately, mal, just the very fact that we were born with well...certain assets (are they even really assets anymore?) immediately we are regarded differently than males are. Isn't this almost innate? Certain (physical) aspects of us women, override other potentially more pivotal aspects. It's one of those things that is unfortunate, but has been socially/culturally constructed for who knows how long. I think I just went off on another tangent, anyways...
