yet more gaywashing

As I don't intend to spend all day on this idiocy, one example of several that could be adduced will have to suffice to show anyone interested (except yourself whom I now realise is not pervious to anything that undermines your gay fantasy of the past) that this is gaywashing, a shamefully dishonest intellectual practice one encounters only too often in modern translations.

In section 51, you translate the verb ἡταιρηκέναι, meaning "to have prostituted oneself" as "he was a kept man"! What word is supposed to mean "man" in your dreams?

This is all rather a red herring in any case. I would agree that in some past societies (not Greek, though) where pederasty, but not androphilia, has been ubiquitous, there is evidence that roughly 20 rather than 18 has been the upper limit of youths being found attractive. Similarly I would agree that true androphiles can readily find youths a couple of years under 18 attractive (even if today they rarely have the honesty to admit it). So there is an overlap, but that certainly does not mean they are essentially the same or are you really too stupid to understand that A having a small overlap with B does not mean A=B.
