Abstract classes and inhertience

Hola,

I have an abstract base class, Person, with three children:
Applicants, Students and Staff.

I have two questions.

As per docs ($PATH/topics/db/managers.html#custom-managers-and-model-inheritance)
I have three managers for the Abstract class:

people = models.Manager()
men = MaleManager()
women = FemaleManager()

with the appropriate definitions.

For some reason, I can't get

<child_class>.men.all() or <child_class>.women.all() to work. Any tips?

Secondly, I want the dob and gender to be using special widgets, so in
admin.py I have:

class PersonAdminForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Person
widgets = {
'dob': SelectDateWidget(),
'gender': RadioSelect(),
}

but then when I add the form to the StudentAdminForm or
ApplicantAdminForm, it fails on the first field that's not in Person.

Is there anyway to have a generic admin form?

cheers
L.
