"For women, reproduction is, if not the only thing, certainly the main thing."
Sadly, a womb and humour cannot exist in the same fragile human body.

What a wonderfully accurate study it must have been, to have gotten results from a sample size of twenty volunteers.
Other favourite quotes include:
"And because fear is the mother of superstition, and because they are partly ruled in any case by the moon and the tides, women also fall more heavily for dreams, for supposedly significant dates like birthdays and anniversaries, for romantic love, crystals and stones, lockets and relics, and other things that men know are fit mainly for mockery and limericks."
I fully expect the next line to reference this deplorable push for women's suffrage.
It's 2007, and I'm still being told in print that my ability to reproduce prevents me from succeeding at other things?
Males must indeed be terrified of our making babies if some of them continue showing such calculated unwillingness to look beyond it. "Oh yeah? You can create life? Well... you can't do anything else. Like... math (former president of Harvard Lawrence H. Summers) or comedy (Christopher Hitchens). In fact, we'll make it so all you're allowed to do is make babies." (Thank you, Bush Administration, for my status as "pre-pregnant." Finally, an excuse to make someone else clean the litter box.)
