Thanks for this reply "." -- this was the kind of elucidation that helped me understand things better. One of the many benefits of Silklist.
On the US election stuff, it vetted to the nation a lot of the gender discrimination that still exists. There's plenty of discrimination that persist, though things continue to improve. I look to Western Europe mainly as the vanguard of human society. The US has a way to go before we're there. But I blame them for sending all the religious extremists here some several hundreds of years ago. And I saw Goody Proctor consorting with the Devil!!! :-)
