My title, I think, reveals my own gay parapraxis. How funny!
Reading the rest of your note, re: Confucius, was a little
bitter-sweet for me - since I don't know any western cultural history
that is parallel to Confucius - with such a generous way of being
inclusive of men and women being major forces in life. Also, the
pleasant ambiguity of Confucian logic which reflects the shifting sands
of life.
Or, am I being too romantic? No doubt.....
