For sure there are biological differences, just as there are differences
in skin pigmentation. But they don't necessarily have to bear the social
signification that they currently do. In fact, the normal
transformations of the market economy have long since disproved the
thesis of women's natural homeliness in the UK, where there are more
women in work than men.
