Well, it's true that would make it more likely that "most caregivers are women" I guess. Perhpas because I am on the wrong side of this equation (woman patient), I dislike the things that designate one role for one sex. I always bristled a little when I heard "band of brothers" used to refer to the group of patients here who'd been through radiation hell and I can imagine how it would feel to be a male caregiver reading this board and seeing the group of caregivers here referred to as a "sisterhood".
