I suspect that you are as aware as I of the science involved. We know that women are human in the same way that we know that a chihuahua is a dog and not an overgrown rat. There are these classifications, you see, called "species", that we have decided upon, because they makes sense, and there are criteria, set by people that devote their lives to studying such things, that determine which species, and according to those criteria, women fit quite clearly in the species we call "human".
I actually don't think you would find anybody willing to seriously challenge this classification, though you might find some who believe that femal members of the human species ought to be treated differently than male members of the human species.
Remember these things. Every belief, no matter how thoroughly implanted, no matter how basic, can be questioned. I am tempted to say "must be questioned", simply becasue if you haven't questioned it, you don't really believe it. You just accept it. They can also be changed.
