Innate differences, my foot!

Men are naturally more romantically aggressive?
Women naturally groom themselves to be more attractive to men?

Right...

Well, not on ORANGO ISLAND, Guinea-Bissau, at least, not till recently:

"Now the world is upside down," complained 90-year-old Cesar Okrane, his eyes obscured by a cloud of cataracts. "Men are running after women, instead of waiting for them to come to them."

Standing in the shade of a grass roof, he holds himself upright with the help of a tall spear and explains that when he was young he took extra care to maintain his physique, learned to dance and practiced writing poetry - all ways in which men can try to attract women, without overtly making the first move.
