To say: '"He is a man of truth," is to say nothing; to say: "He is a man of of," is to state an elementary truth of logic.'

“A man without his woman is nothing.”
Punctuated as a woman:
“A man, without his woman, is nothing.”
Did All males punctuate thusly?
“A man: without his, woman is nothing” Oops … this doesn’t compute.
A couple of questions: ’his’ what? and Does it follow because ‘her’ can be both an adjective and a pronoun, and ‘his’ is only an adjective, that English provides more to ‘her’ than to ‘his’ aka, him? Bonus ?: does English grammar recognize the Mitochondrial DNA of a ‘her’ as well as that extra ‘leg’ of the ‘X’ chromosome, and therefore give the word ‘her’ more gravitas?
Now we have for women: her, hers : only ‘hers’ can be adjective, but ‘her’ can be both pronoun and adjective.
Now we have for men: him, his only ‘his’ can be adjective, and ‘him’ only pronoun.
Another example of what my father considered an irony: ’Why do women want ‘equal’ rights, when they already have advantages? He was a pediatrician and worked with women and their children daily. Also my uncle, an attorney, agreed. There are more legal advantages to women in English law, than for men. I’ll have to take his word for it; as I haven’t a list of particulars. But I think now, the English language supports that superiority (a tempting mistake) … no English language too, supports a woman’s advantage … and we are reminded of our collective equality by our constitution.
So here’s to woman appreciating their advantages, and men recognizing and respecting those women when advantages are required to be recognized.
English law, language and biology recognize the advantages of the female gender. The implications for the future of compatible societies are profound.
The female as a nurturing and life-giving part of the natural equation cannot be demoted to 2nd class citizen and be compatible with English (and seemingly western) societies. Until this is reconciled, Islam will remain in conflict with itself as well as with the rest of fair and equal justice promoting societies.
