Fernando: "Unlike women who, ask we know, rule the Earth with their early
emotional maturity and wisdom and knowledge of what they want. That´s
why there´s so little juvenile pregnancy."

[WS:] I did not say women cannot be immature, but they are immature in
a different way than men.  In men, immaturity tends to take the form
of emotional shallowness, banality and unidimensionality, which they
try to cover up with escapes into behavior that is both perfunctory
and bizarre or appalling.  In women, on the other hand, immaturity
takes the form of self-depreciation, denial of their own value, and
failure to question the validity of the influences and demands put on
them by others. When men mature, they become more critical of
themselves, when women do - they become less.
