Am I? I certainly don't remember doing so. The paragraph I quoted stated one of the major problems in studying gender, namely the chicken-and-egg problem that culture and biology inhabit. Do observed gender differences come solely from cultural influences and stereotyping, thus affecting how peoples' brains develop and thus influencing their biology, or do biological differences drive cultural expectations? As I've said to you uncountable times in the past, there's a reason why nature v. nurture is one of the most heated debates in science today.

To be honest, a year ago I thought I was starting to turn. There was this unnatural attraction I kept feeling. Gladly, I've been able to hold onto myself and not give in to feelings.

You want the thread about werewolves.

This is about being straight.

Shouldn't we be giving aid to the countries who have good economic policy so they will actually grow (economically) instead of countries that spend way too much money on their bullshit "women's rights"?

Are you sure it's werewolves Geth is talking about, after all it doesn't take too long for them to change. Maybe it's a mutation of some sort.

sexuality is less of a choice and more of a consideration

sexuality isn't set in stone. it's also not easily discarded. generally, you give it light thought. not thought like "do I like what she's packing?" but more of gauging how you feel about whatever.

thinking about it in depth can help you identify the precise things you're attracted to to the point where changing variables amuses you rather than disturbs you. having an open mind can help you determine if there's other things that attract you.

Maybe he's a weregay. The roams the city streets at night, accosting straight people and criticising their fashion sense.

I think he was more likely referring vampirism. We all know it's the vampires that like to suck.
