Message-ID: <833@bbncca.ARPA> Date: Tue, 10-Jul-84 09:23:15 EDT Article-I.D.: bbncca.833 Posted: Tue Jul 10 09:23:15 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 11-Jul-84 00:56:13 EDT References: <2409@decwrl.UUCP> Organization: Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Cambridge, Ma. Lines: 16 Deep rooted, I say. For example, and more relevant to net.motss--I haven't ever seen a gay or lesbian relationship that did not *most of the time* exhibit differential 'sex roles.' They may swap or submerge, but from what I've seen, they surface daily. They're so solidly a part of us that they persist when they're not relevant. Comments? Provocative, but I'm a little unclear on what you are trying to say: Gay and lesbian people are also ruled to some extent by sex roles (not surprising) OR that gay relationships display a male/female role polarity (definitely disputable.) Can you expand on this? -- /Steve Dyer {decvax,linus,ima}!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA
