snig, thanks for the suggestions. (and I'm glad you like it!).
I'll just ask you to remove the text if possible because I didn't want to post the whole long thing here. I have saved your corrections in a text file so you can remove it without loss of the feedback.

Ops. Yes, it should be heart. I have a tendency to put -th- in far too many places.

What I want to say here is that females are not involved. It sort of becomes two times "of" (thereof of) which looks ugly but if I put "to" the meaning would be slightly different, I think.

no, it would still read that females are not involved in the process if you put "to" ,"of" is just wrong.,

Thereof is a funny word, I'm not sure I completely understand it. Semantically it's sort of like the ceci in French but formal. And it goes at the end (or near the end) of a sentence.

Sorry for jumping in unannounced, but how about?
