I love folk tales like that.

About 5 years ago, I felt that the Vancouver Rape Relief Society behaved in the same manner towards men: okay as unpaid labour, but not for any other tasks. So i decided not to volunteer with them after all. Endorsing anyone, let alone a gender (and I think of gender as a social construct too, but it does make me uneasy at times) as secondclass citizens was not a goal I have ever been able to endorse.
