I believe that, whatever else they are, men are brave. Don’t roll your eyes! I’m just saying that there’s a form of bravery particular to men, and however many exceptions there might be, it’s part of the male character to want to take care of those who are more vulnerable. And I have depended on that quality in men, and I have benefited from it. We all have. Would I feel as safe in the hands of a woman surgeon or a woman pilot as I would in the hands of a man? Absolutely. But I would hate to be in a situation of danger like a burning house or some natural disaster with no men around.
