Reply #81: You're making normative statements

[JackintheGreen]

I am taking issue with the words "most" and "generally." I would accept such an assertion using "some" or even "many" and "often," but certain religions have had such a pervasively pernicious influence on constructions of sex and gender that such statements are historically problematic.

What I find interesting is that people are so quick to accept this particular reading of the site based upon contemporary constructions of sex and gender but attack those who question this interpretation as "homophobic" based on contemporary constructions of sex and gender. I (for one) suggest that perhaps the very ascription of such a decidedly modern framework is - without further evidence to the contrary - inappropriate.
