Taking a firm stand

Kay P Harding Staff Nurse, Crownhill Hospital,Plymouth

Kay Harding advocates equality for male and female nurses

Mythology implies that each gender has a contrasting future although marriage unites them. Males are educated with a bias for power and females less explicitly for dependence: the powerful, therefore, marries the dependant who bears his heirs. Rather like haemophilia, power is transmitted through the females but is only manifest in the males.
