It's unfortunate that the women in the borg have a 'lesser' status in the borg. This was something that we as elders were reminded of quite often in the elders schools. The men were the 'thinkers' and the women were the 'feelers'. It almost sounded at times that women had no brains at all.
In my course of time in the borg, I found that the opposite was often more true. There were many women who were better thinkers than some of the bone headed elders. Most were even better readers, and kinder in dealing with others.
