There a story of a recent upstart in Boston Society who was attempting to join one of the more exclusive clubs. Looking at his lack of pedigree this Boston Brahman descended from the Mayflower said to the prospective member. "In our club we put great emphasis on breeding." The young man remarked. "I think it's fun too, but I do have other interests".
ReplyDeleteMy point is that the human species is defined by more than it's ability to create progeny, inaccurately pigeon holed into male and female (by some estimates 1 to 10,0000 births have ambiguous sex). But even if we were, as Genesis proclaimed, "male and female He created them", in fact we transcend sexual roles. Yes it's important, but we do have other interests. We love, we learn, we help, we create, we explore, we emphasize, we support, we do all those things that make us human. Compared to our biological roles, determined by evolution, these are much more important.
