This material fact and the ideology of sexism that goes with it are the forces that make couples (or males who have power over their partners) desire male issues. It is *patriarchy*, not a woman's whim, that is the cause of sex selection. Yoshie --- from list marxism-thaxis-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
