Adamant Eve vs. Adamant Steve

Am I the only one who thinks textbook definitions of marriage and adolescence are wholly unnecessary?
Next we’ll be debating whether health textbooks should define ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ in terms of sex or gender.
“Some children are masculine while others are feminine, regardless of superficial physical distinctions. Terms like ‘boy’ and ‘girl’ lead to fascism.”

    That’s already happening. At least at the college level.

    Name one fascist country that didn’t have boys and girls.
    Case closed.

    I have to admit, it’s highly unlikely that many kids reach the age where they’d be reading the definitions without having some idea what the word marriage means.
    I can see where a definition might be useful in a college-level anthropology textbook, though. (Do the Nayar have marriage or don’t they, that sort of thing.)

    I am a sexist. I love sex. I must be a fascist since I discriminate between boys and girls, between men and women, between the linear angularity of the masculine and the encircling curvaceousness of the feminine. I’m a deviated prevert because I prefer the sinuous path of sin to the straight upright rod. I’m a face-ist because I’m most turned on by a woman’s face.
