Rethinking gender?

More like rethinking the preposterous notion that "gender" can somehow be separated from biology. I can't do better than quote Bromios immediately below on "the biological limits of social construction. This anxiety we're agreeing on comes from deep-down instinct playing out in many different social forms. Homo-anxiety is really subset to general sexual-anxiety and therefore linked to our origins in the female womb. You're not rethinking your way out of that billion-year-old labyrinth! The anxiety can be dealt with, but it can't be social-engineered out of existence. I can't actually think of a better way to aggravate this inherent anxiety than with MAPism. Gays won acceptance because of their definitively separate minority position. It reassured mainstream instinct. But you can't separate boys in that way. You just can't. And you shouldn't. Hate Anita Bryant all you like, but she will win that fight every time." Actually, it was I who initially suggested that "the problem" goes back to Rome. If I understand him correctly, Bromios refuted me by arguing cogently that "the problem" (mentoring boys without feminizing them) is universal and ultimately rooted in biology, in our universal emergence from female muck and slime, in the desperate male struggle not to fall back into the womb (or the sociological/cultural equivalent thereof).
