Alright, so it's not genitals, cool, cool and it's somehow "gender"-based that makes love across genders to be interesting.

Which philosophy of thought do you follow where gender would have an impact? Is this an argument about dominant / submissive? breadwinner / caretaker? Something else?

>Alright, so it's not genitals

I said genitals is "a required component of the arrangement." It's just not the whole thing.

Ah, sorry, I misread that part, then.

Why do genitals matter?

Because it is the only combination that produces life.
Sure; but what does the ability to produce life have to do with love?
Because the production of life in a loving relationship between a man and a woman is the best way to produce life.
"Life" ?

Quantitatively false:

    According to the team, there are almost 20 quadrillion ants on Earth right now. That’s a 20 followed by 15 zeroes, which is a number that’s hard to really get your head around.

In terms of tonnage and sheer numbers there are many many more ants than humans - clearly their method of producing life "wins".

As a quick heads up, they don't have loving two parent families.
