i concur with the OP's remark that men face far greater dangers than women. when using conference restrooms, there is the grave danger of getting one's testicles caught in the zipper. women are much better protected in that respect.
let's hope that both well-intended punches in the face and the pinching of gonads can trigger involuntary thinking processes, which might lead to insight, eventually.
if not, there is solace in the fact that personality is as good a contraceptive as any, and evolution will deal with the rest. however, i very much understand that women are generally unwilling to wait that long for things to improve.

One trip to a school "parents' evening" is a good way to disabuse yourself of that myth :)
