Transgender Marriage.
@28,39: What about cis women who were born with reproductive defects and will never be able to get pregnant? Does their lack of experience with pregnancy scares also make them "not really women" in your eyes?

@12: did you read that article? "In economics, capital, capital goods, or real capital are those already-produced durable goods that are used in production of goods or services."
There's very little productive labor, apart from simple gathering, that can occur without some kind of tool. And foraging food is easier with a digging stick and some kind of basket or container...

RE: Plant Peas on Presidents' Day.
+1 for the cold frame suggestion; I made a real basic cone with PVC, duct tape, and a plastic drop cloth over my Early Girls when they went out April 30. They looked pretty bad for the first couple of weeks, but then got huge; they're setting a lot of flowers. Did much better than the tomatoes in pots I was lugging inside and out for most of May.
