socialist woman at dinner one night made me realize that self-reliance could
very well be more programmed into men in general than women, with rather
obvious political consequences! And why the hell not; in pre-history women
needed more support, and men might have needed to be more self-reliant. Baby

whereas the little boys are made to wait a little longer.
