I think the idea of masculinity versus femininity, versus nothing, should be removed from politics. No one should be demonizing any of it, some people are masculine, some people are feminine, some people are in between or nothing at all or neither. I don't like to see The political universe demonizing what is really innate human behavior.

It was concerning the homosexuality debates in the politics of the 60s, but it always stuck with me as a generally good rule of thumb, do we really need to bring this stuff into politics? Who I pray to, who I sleep with, and what my T levels are, don't seem particularly germane. You put it eloquently, the political universe really does spend considerably too much energy demonizing what is really innate human behavior.
