"I’m not going to debate with you about the reality of biological sex, for the same reason I wouldn’t stand on the train platform debating the finer points of physics while the man on the tracks is ground into bits. Not because your position is unassailable. Because even bringing it up makes you an asshole."

Haha no Rufusthebewilderedreindeer I will not force you to read it. But I recommend it.

"As long as pimps, priests, and politicians know what a female body is, I do too."

Also, Galaxy Quest is indeed awesome.

Isn’t it odd that sex was never so complicated before? There was nothing ethereal about biology when it came to allocating the right to vote, or own property, or walk down the street at night without fear. We knew perfectly well what made someone female when that female-ness guaranteed a life of subservience and pain. Only when women began to say no did their bodies become a concept.

Yes indeed.

Thank you for posting the link. That is an excellent, very well written article (and he acknowledges that feminists have been making these points for aeons so I appreciate that part too Grin.)
