Ursula K. Le Guin Quote
The fact that everyone between seventeen and thirty-five or so is liable to be (as Nim put it) tied down to childbearing, implies that no one is quite so thoroughly tied down here as women, elsewhere are likely to be--psychologically or physically. Burden and privilege are shared out pretty equally; everybody has the same risk to run or choice to make. Therefore nobody here is quite so free as a free male anywhere else.
