1. Female
2. 15

6. Overall, yeah. I don't think we'll achieve true equality until we have another generation or two: if nothing else there are still a lot of people who were raised in the 50s, or whose parents were, and they're carrying around that baggage while their children are losing the discrimination.
7. Androgynes are the superior gender.
8. Too many of them don't know what the hell they're talking about and try to act big by constructing a strawman (strawwoman? strawperson?) argument and then taking that apart. Their presence is counteracted by those who are levelheaded and reasonable.
