This is another part of US culture that I just don't understand. Why do you folks make so many efforts to distinguish between men and women? You don't allow same-sex marriage (despite your neighbour to the north having allowed it http://www.canlii.com/en/on/onsc/doc/20 ... 49633.html]for a dozen years with no cultural meltdown) and you never passed the Equal Rights Amendment... Apparently "all men are created equal" but women aren't equal to men. Why?
