Actually, the reason I pointed it out was that there is a fairly strong argument that gender is culturally implanted: women act feminine because they've been taught to act feminine through upbringing. Thus, femininity is not an inherent trait of women and it is possible for a woman to be brought up without it.

Affirmative action is a crutch to counterbalance against prejudiced employers and admissions officers. It is, in truth, weak and stupid: the appropriate action is to find a way to fix the employers and admissions officers, not force them to take people they don't like.
