Rosin also cites rising college graduation rates, steady employment, and an increased female presence in male dominated fields such as politicians and business. Women have won the gender war having (cid:498)pulled decisively ahead of men by almost every measure.

(cid:499) The above draw and maintain an imaginary lines between good and bad sex a line separating order and chaos.

For rich the second restrictive characteristic is a compulsory subjugation in which medicine is run by men, so men have social control of biological freedom.
