You may be right, Alison. In fact, probably are. Certainly, in the
Humanities (as they're called), where there are more women than men
enrolled, that perceived protection probably inheres.
Of course, the 'culture' of business & politics itself may guarantee
that the women who do make it there are actually 'men,' as in Thatcher,
or Rice.
In her fine White Queen trilogy, Gwyneth Jones had a 'war between men &
women' happening in the first volume, but of course there were both
males & females in both camps.....
