Thought of, "Morally speaking, women can [verb] in ways men would never imagine possible"

[verb] = take adversity in stride, manage to extricate themselves from the burdensome, moral straightjackect men often don. Here I think you can devise and then insert more meaningful structures than I can.

I mean, you may go on to describe, or give a full account of, what women can morally do, how outclassed men may feel for taking women for granted and whatever a single-headed Márcio can devise. Hope to hear from you!

I have not a single argument against E-Prime.
