Well, perhaps, but then there is at least one question to consider as an argument to the thesis: Which sex (or gender, if you wish to use that more contemporary, politically correct word) has the ability to propagate more children? Of course, the answer to that question (if there is an answer -- and I believe there is one) opens a whole different can of worms. And, now, I owe John Henry Newman an apology, especially as I consider how ironic it is that he would have made such a statement given his "professional status" (i.e., the ability to be a priest rather than a nun was -- and is -- not a sexless determination). But perhaps I have said too much.
