9. How about you hire all women and gay men and let the men go off and learn some discipline.

Because if you respond that it's not about discipline it's about being a primate (and to a degree I am with you on this), then you are suggesting that men have no more capacity to control themselves than an animal.

If men are animals and can't control themselves... or learn to, women should not be punished or denied jobs, access, etc.

If men can learn to overcome the effect that women have on them well enough to do whatever tasks necessary, then it is incumbent upon them to do so. That responsibility or burden should in no way be laid upon someone else; namely women.

Otherwise might as well tell them to slap on a burka.
