I agree. I find it quite significant that the word "homosexual" didn't exist until the early 1900's, and the concept of a "homosexual" (or in the old speech, Uranian) person was invented in the 19th-century by a German sexologist. Doesn't exactly lead me to put much faith in the idea.

And if I thought men, qua men, were actually "opposite" to women, tempermentally and biologically, I would probably advocate "androcide", just as a safety measure for the species.

Because, clearly, it would HAVE to be the men that would be dangerous, and not the women.

But seriously, I agree with you, sis. I'm not very keen on traditional ideas of "feminine" and "masculine". I mean, there's some truth to them; there is some sort of temperamental difference between the sexes, but the vast majority of it, I think, is nothing but smoke.
