Sex of a hilsa fish

==========================================================================

A serious comment on the blog: 'Sold Women Bold Women' by Wanderlust has this false start:

"Sir, I am unaware of a process that decides the sex of the Hilsa fish".

I am reminded of a stale Hindi joke:

Q: "How do you determine the sex of a pigeon?"

A: "Throw a few grain. Agar chugta hai tho male hai; chugthi hai tho female".

It is better than this English one:

Q: "How do you determine the sex of a chromosome?"

A: "Pull down her genes!"

There is no 'man-woman conflict' at all in my view. To mimic the renowned mathematician David Hilbert vis-a-vis Mathematicians and Physicists:

"They deal in different things; live in different spaces".

By and large, women serve Nature's Purpose willy-nilly. Men are purposeless and almost disposable.

When I said this to my spirited student Arundhuti, she offered every sulking man a designer womb implant: She must know since she is at Stanford doing serious research on this Bio-Physics thing; and is a doting mother of two cutest sons...Bless her!
