Just wanted to point out that the legislation you refer to (and apparently found in Home and Garden) never existed. It was a joke originally published in the 1770s that somehow got out of hand.

Gender seems to be hardwired in our cultural hardware; I am not sure what the balance is, or if it is even possible. From a Jungian perspective, it probably begins with respecting the genderized Other that exists within us. By me, for an example, getting in touch with my inner anima, I should be able to relate more effectively and sympathetically with women in general. The same applies for women too; they need to understand their own animus in such a way so as to not endanger their inner anima. That is a very good question.

That is happening in liberal denominations of Christianity and Judaism. How do we give men a role that makes them feel special without marginalizing women?
