"[T]he more clamour we make about 'the women's point of view', the more we rub it into people that the women's point of view is different, and frankly I do not think it is -- at least in my job. The line I always want to take is, that there is the 'point of view' of the reasonably enlightened human brain, and that this is the aspect of the matter which I am best fitted to uphold."

-- Dorothy L. Sayers

When you've got that kind of wisdom and somebody else doesn't, you can always take advantage of them.”
