Ursula K. Le Guin Quote
Are all the scientists here men, then? Scientists? Oiie asked, incredulous. Pae coughed. Scientists. Oh, yes, certainly, they’re all men. There are some female teachers in the girls’ schools, of course. But they never get past Certificate level. Why not? Can’t do the math; no head for abstract thought; don’t belong. You know how it is, what women call thinking is done with the uterus! Of course, there’s always a few exceptions, God-awful brainy women with vaginal atrophy. You Odonians let women study science? Oiie inquired. Well, they are in the sciences, yes. Not many, I hope. Well, about half.

Most police cars are the equivalent of an electrical room on wheels and it does not surprise me that police officers that spend time in such a biologically toxic environment are displaying aggression.
