That's a gallant thought, but let's just go for justice and fairness from now on.

I hope you are not using 'gallant' as a pejorative involving suggestions of benevolent sexism.

Of course, no one, including me, can know for sure when their opinions contain traces of that, but for a variety of reasons, some to do with my early experiences, I am genuinely predisposed to thinking highly of women, possibly more than men. Maybe it's a bias. But I think it's also an informed one, to do with observing the world as an adult.

Or, assuming you weren't implying anything adverse, I generally agree that justice and fairness is the better way to go, by and large, but I am also less against 'affirmative action' interventions than some are.
