I saw a middle aged woman and a young woman in Ashbourne
today, both peering into a pram containing a newborn baby. (I sneaked a quick
peek as I walked past.) It struck me yet again that women have one undeniable
basis for claiming superiority over men: they can build new human beings and we
can’t. I never cease to be in awe of the magic contained in that fact.
It never occurred to me, you know, before the Lady B gave birth to her first child a little over five years ago. I can’t help thinking it must mean something, but I don’t know what.
