People are essentially the same

Having said that I also recognize there are some elemental differences in mental make up, how they see different aspects of life from those of men. Still they shouldn't be penlized in the market place or on the street for that matter. (New York City has some (No Whistle Zones) around the city.

First of all, I applaud you for the part of your post I have deleted.  But I wanted to comment on the first sentence of your last paragraph.

Men and women are in a different situation, and consequently, what they do is often different.  For one example, we can consider the example of sexual intercourse.  For a woman, she is (generally) at risk of getting pregnant, and a man is not.  That difference in situation is likely to affect the choices one is likely to make.  If someone is contemplating a one-night stand with a stranger, there are also other differences in situation to consider.  For example, a woman is more likely to contract HIV from an infected man, than a man is to contract HIV from an infected woman.  (There is a lot of the virus present in the semen of an infected man; you don't want to be on the receiving end of that, regardless of whether you are a man or woman.  Not, that is, if one wants to avoid HIV.)  Also, men are typically bigger than women, and more violent (just look at violent crime statistics for this second part).  So a woman going home with a strange man is at greater risk than a man going home with a strange woman.  Additionally, a man typically can reach orgasm easier than a woman, and so there is a great chance that the woman will not get an orgasm from the one-night stand, as the man may well be finished before she has an orgasm.  I can also add, which was especially true in the past, that there is a difference in social attitudes for men and women who have one-night stands.

If we look at the totality of that, we can see that the situation for women is much less favorable to having one-night stands, and so we might expect that more women will be disinclined to have a one-night stand than men, even if their thinking processes are identical to men's thinking processes.

To say this in another way, or, rather, the way I stated it at first, men and women are in a different situation, and consequently, what they do is often different.  You would likely act differently if you were in a different situation than the one you are in.

Also, I rather like the opening post to which you refer, and wish that individual would come back and post more.
