ORIGINAL: softandshy This is completely off-track also, but wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just fall in love with, or be attracted to a person. No gender issues to cloud things, no problems with "power orientation", none of that, just person to person connection as the socially accepted norm. Fantasy is a beautiful thing. Not for me - I see value in diversity: political value, artistic value, relational value - I love diversity. I love that we have genders - I love women are one way, men are one way - I think femininity (which could cover a ton of ground, and be expressed in so many ways) rocks, and I think masculinity, as broad a term as that can be, also rawks. So no - I am happy we aren't genderless - I accept - nay celebrate - all of our differences. I'm glad we have boys and girls!! Now, if you had said you wished we could, on the whole, be wiser and fairer in regard to gender...
