Why I don't blog about current events so much anymore.

June 27, 2006

Because everytime I start to get worked up about something...like this article, I read another blog on the feminist blog feed, say feministe, and someone else has already done a mighty fine job of interpretation and evaluation, like this:

And that’s why this biology debate makes me uncomfortable. It’s important and interesting, of course, to look at the biological causes of everything under the sun, including sexuality. But no one bothers looking at what makes heterosexual people heterosexual. I’ve never been asked when I chose to be attracted to men, and I’ve never had someone insinuate that perhaps my sexuality isn’t genuine. Researchers, as far as I know, have never bothered to look for the gene that made me straight.

But yet people seem to think that if we can come up with a biological explanation for homosexuality, then we’ll finally be willing to give the gays their due. Because, you know, it’s ok if they can’t help it.

and, hell, even the comments are more astute than anything I would have to offer:

Also no research in what makes a girl become a lesbian. Why would anyone care about a girl’s sexual preferences!

So, I'm afraid it's back to my little hidey hole. Go on, now...get thee over to feministe, or the feminist blog feed!
