General
When I read the View from Earth column 'Sexual Politics' last week, I was horrified at the Earth-centric base assumptions the author made. Unlike on Earth, where artificial categories of people are by turn oppressed and defended, we have no such bizarre subdividing in Perplex City. We have many notable men in the city who love men, and many notable women who love women, as well; but why is this placing of affection something that needs to be separated and defended? I know that I have never been attacked or snubbed because of my own relationships with women. What next, will we be scolded for not vigilantly defending the rights of people who have green eyes? |
