One of my degrees is in psychology; I'm very much aware of how well our minds DON'T retain information accurately. And aware of how HARD IT IS to convince people of that!
Yeah, you tell Clarissa MacDougall she has to sit around and wait. That'll work. Not. (and then there's her DAUGHTERS, but they're more demigod than human)
His view was that men and women were *different* but equal (as opposed to "separate but equal"). In a very general sense he was right, except that the differences are purely statistical in most areas, and the statistical spread is wide enough that you can't really use that as a general approach without (as in Doc's day) a major societal force pushing things in that direction.
