I've got no clue. Here in the heartland not to many of us come out. I know three others, 2 men, 1 woman. But then belief isn't discussed that much. Mostly assumed.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

When I go down the pub, I've met many happily married atheist blokes. Mainly because they can't remember who their wives are Tongue

Not exactly on topic but I just thought of it and it's funny*, so there!

Women cannot give birth without them. I had expected you to have known that.

What is wrong with that particular assertion is that women are necessary but not sufficient to give life in and of themselves; men are still required.

And what is wrong with the other assertion, that only men can give spiritual life, is easily shown wrong. I think we've all learnt about love from our mothers, and if that ain't spiritual, then I don't know what is.

Your mileage seems to vary.

What about turkey bastors and public toilets.  So long as we continue to let if fly for free they'll never need us again.  Come on guys, we're better than this.

Women can't get pregnant without them. But we still carry life within us for 9 months and give birth on our own, no man needed while we do both of these amazing and uniquely feminine things. :-)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
