Many thanks for your comments, all, on pregnant men.
That website made me think harder then my poor brain likes to and
your comments made it much easier on that poor lump of neural meat.
The website combined with some complexity science type biology
research did show up the social and cultural construction of a
dualist conception of gender as being just that and where the biology
shows very little gender difference and even less in Maturana's
structures or even Dawkins. I have a friend who is a research
bio-chemist, into researching cures for cancer, and marxist-feminist
activist who has always said biology is not women's destiny and women
are a social and culture patriarchal construct rather then a
biological one. Now I understand much more what she was on about.
