"The cult of masculinity" is also responsible for almost every scientific advance and every great work of art. It's the old 'masculine' impulse for knowledge and mastery over 'feminine' nature. Camille Paglia (a writer whose work I've come to disparage for other reasons; mostly her worship of a particularly empty-headed popular culture) put it quite succinctly (and I'm paraphrasing): "If women had been in power for the last few millennia, we'd still be living in grass huts."

"The cult of masculinity" is also responsible for almost every scientific advance and every great work of art.And yet many of those works of art are by homosexuals.
