This is something I discussed with lots of people in Europe.
Where are all the women? Why don't they like CPs as much as us men? I was
told it's pretty much the same in other plants societies, with only a
minority of women. Why do they seem to only *like* plants, but do not
cultivate them obsessively like men?
