From the Paper:

"Gray begins his book by describing how one day Martians were looking through their telescopes and spied the inhabitants of Venus. So taken with the image of women, the Martians hurriedly invented space travel. When they arrived on Venus, the women welcomed them, for they had intuitively been expecting them. Each appreciated the differences in the other and life was grand. However, when they moved to Earth, amnesia set in and men and women forgot that they were supposed to be different. The men and women forgot everything they had learned about each other and hence, have been in conflict ever since (Gray 9)."
