Should we not then reflect in our language, that some women are 
therefore disabled/handicapped?

(Before a UK/USA war erupts, 'disabled' is the 'correct term' in the UK, 
'handicapped' is the 'correct term' in the USA.  I signal this, as each 
culture views the other word, as insulting and derogatory.  It makes for 
interesting discussions on 'wheelchair access'.)

We can acknowledge that women who can't, for whatever reason, have been 
disabled, in terms of not being able to perform a normal function, 
because of either a mechanical, or emotional, problem.
