- I don't think that, and you know it. Nevertheless, I do _entertain_ the idea
- that many women _and_ many men are highly suggestible, and do indeed cave
- into society with scarcely a thought. "mindless zombie" is not the phrase I
- would use, but it does describe the phenomenon. It seems more sensible to me
- to entertain this idea, and take it very seriously indeed, than to adopt a
- feelgood philosophy of "everyone is equal, nobody is stupid".
