        One of the downsides to bisexuality and transvestism is that it's
difficult to get support for either anywhere, insofar as I understand.
        For what it's worth, the pioneers would've sneered at the amount of
sex-segregation we have.  They didn't have the luxury of defining gender
roles.  That's largely a product of the Industrial Revolution, along with
other fun things like the nuclear family and soot.

        Now my personal take on things is that gender roles are just plain
silly.  If I want a woman to pursue me, or write poetry, I'm comfortable with
that.  I'm equally at home cooking and cleaning or repairing my car and
computer.  *shrug*
