I totally agree. Recently I told my girlfriend, about a an agressively hyper-masculine policeman, that if that was what a man was, then I didn't want to be a man - I'd cut my balls off. She agreed that those sorts of men are disgusting :) Imbalanced women are pretty awful too - mindless dolls.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that highly evolved people tend to be a blend of masculine and feminine. Actually, of my friends, a very high proportion are bisexual or at least bicurious, including me. Makes you think.
