The grade differences between men and women are different - I would like > to hear a woman's opinion on why this is so - as in, what causes this, etc. When I was a bratty teen, wide-eyed and bright, I got a lot of advice, from every possible side. Unkils and anties, anties and unkils Worked themselves in knots, Every way I looked for years, They were always in deep thought. They tried very hard, very very hard To get me all ready and prepared. To deal with all the questions asked, The cavils any one dared. Sadly enough, I must confess, It was all in vain. Why are most prison-inmates men, I sadly can't explain. Being a man, I *must* be able To answer such a fact. Whatever would every one think If an opinion I lacked. As they say, they really do, Any clod has facts. The in-thing is an opinion That is the real class act. anurag
