Hello Eleanor,

I find your womens' advocacy remarks amusing; but, this time you may
have stretched it too far.  The last time I looked into the subject
(which was years ago), color-blindness was much more common in men
(1/6) than it was in women (1/14).  No offense intended - just humor
on a rainy, near-Winter Sunday Night.
