Time devoted to men is time not devoted to women

Het women smugly say to Lesbians, “But you’re cutting yourselves off from half the human race!” They don’t realize that they’re the ones who cut themselves off from the greater number–females…Why should we need to explain that two and a half billion people–the numbers of females on Earth–are more than enough to relate to?
