: Okay, Scott....Imagine this.  You want to climb Mt. Everest.  You are an
: inexperienced mountain climber and the only available guide is a highly
: experienced woman.  However, you MUST lead HER up the mountain because
: you were BORN a male  and she was BORN female.

: Sort of paints a different picture.  Doesn't it?


One problem with this: marraiges are usually with people at the same level
(in terms of "skill" & experience).
The "experienced" climber would be translated as a father, mother or mentor.
