Actually, I can imagine other definitions of social equality. <<Obviously, it is difficult to say how the rise of social equality will affect this paradigm.>> The rise...are you sure?

And yet, and yet.... I grew up in the fifties, Neocon, and although I had a couple of dolls that I cherished--Raggedy Ann and a Josephine--the chemistry set was the best gift I ever received outside of the books. The little trucks were marvelous fun (aside from the two dolls, they were the best fun to be had besides Crayola crayons) and the little tin soldiers were great--I'd re-enact the battle of Gettysburg with them. And the cowboy stuff with the little holster and gun.... And, no, I wasn't some sort of hormonal freak. In connection with an illness, I had a workup that included hormone balances: I was and am well within the "normal" range for women. Yet on many counts I am easily mistaken for a male by people who do not see me--as has happened so often here on SI on the stock threads, where being icily analytical is perceived as "male." On Raging Bull, my "persona" is very male and no one has yet figured out that I am not the beer-swilling guy whose testosterone is through the ceiling. LOL! In the 3D world, one lover characterized me as "a mutant or an alien." My professional self and the "feel" of my sex drive caused him to react in this fashion--it seemed so "male." I am very feminine (as I think that my postings on this thread indicate), yet I also seem to be more "male" than many of the men I have encountered--i.e., in a barroom brawl that "goes outside," I am the one who breaks the beer bottle and says, "Want to keep going, pal? I'm waiting for you...." I posted the article because I think it is interesting and useful for understanding part of the ultimate complexity of human beings. Hormones and how they influence our behavior are vitally important to understanding one another. Yet they are not anything more than a beginning. If one simply "bought" the nature argument, X would not exist on these threads and neither should I.
