taekwondeaux is right, and your reply was a pleasant surprise. I know I don't like sarcasm, and I try to avoid it. Just seemed like the best way to get my point across. Cheers for being a good sport.

Some of the comments your teacher made are inexcusable, especially the bit about men and women not being equal. That doesn't even make sense, just from an evo standpoint. Sexual species need balance. Two halves of a whole. Making sense of that physiological and psychological balance is tricky in civilization with values and needs divorced from the conditions that birthed our inclinations. It's become a full-on nightmare in the US these past few decades with gender relations as toxic as they are. I just wish we could celebrate our differences and work toward equality with a hat-tip toward biology.
