I suspect that you parade the negative experiences of women so prominently because you expect to solicit greater sympathy from society for your cause. This argument is fine if c.p. is indeed intended to subject women to a harmful system under the pretence of equality. Your argument is problematic if in so advancing it you presume that women are less capable of dealing with c.p. because of their intrinsic lack of strength, rather than the way society may have already moulded them. Your argument is facile if you wish to argue that females cannot handle c.p. because of their intrinsic qualities, and therefore c.p. as a whole should also be abolished.
