C2, I think we are making progress. You are nearly there. <Easy. We live in increasingly complex systems. Even with our high powered brains, it takes time to learn the ropes and become independent. Lesser forms of animals don't have nearly the number of complex tasks we need to master. The longer the developmental period, the more skilled and more successful we become. > But you made one mistake. You are thinking that women are a lesser form of animal than men, just because they mature earlier because they don't have to win Nobel prizes and figure out the complexity which they leave to blokes. Nor do they have to impress the opposite sex with their intellect, which human females demand of their propositioning males. Women are in fact the other half of humanity. The entity is the combination of the two, though paradoxically there is no combination as all individuals are male or female [a few mix-ups notwithstanding]. By your measure, women are the lesser form of animal. I suppose you could argue that people are two different symbiotic species, with the male carrying Y chromosomes and the female delivering the mitochondria. But that's stretching a point. So, you agree that the development period is important. Can I stretch you a little more to say more attention needs to be paid to girls in their earlier years when their brains are developing so rapidly, rather than thinking "Oh, the girls are doing fine, it's the boys we need to worry about", thereby leaving the girls unchallenged and lacking full development? Which the boys also lack because they are demotivated and focus on other things, abandoning school as a bad thing. Which of course it is. I'm glad we were able to clear that up. Now CB knows why she is not good at maths but is linguistically talented. Rose knows why she gets bamboozled by Mq's amazing logic. It's because males mature later. Any day now, I'm going to be mature. Mqurice
