Gender doesn't matter, except when it matters. We just seem to not be able to agree where and when it matters.

I'm clear on it. I'm against people saying gender matters because it makes me weak and a victim and I can't do anything and therefore people should give to me because of my gender rather than me having to create for myself. so people forget that it's about choices and ambition and bravery just like I said in the monkey comment. I'm for people saying gender matters where it's like whatever qualities you want to associate with your gender as something that you draw strength from. I'm against the sort of self-hating insecurity about gender that seem to come out of Western American culture.
So how do you explain why it's been so long since we've seen an alpha female macaque?

Are you implying that male and female macaque's are the same and that male macaque's are sexist?
