    Gender Roles

    Are you claiming that it would not be possible to physically observe that you are married to a man? That when you see him, your reaction to doing so is the same as that of a straight man?

    And you are being melodramatic for no real reason at all. People talk about "good" or "bad" or "defective" genes all the time, that's just a fact. A tendency I find risible in all cases. Mother Nature doesn't have opinions on what genes "should" be, or what they are "for" or "not for". Because...

    But you have to consider quality, not just quantity. Sure, your kids may be great, but how many of them will be WH Cabinet members after the government is cleansed of corruption by our noble leader?
