But demon?  Demon isn't a species.  And, note, the argument isn't so much about whether or not demons can reproduce biologically.  The chain of logic is - armanites can reproduce biologically, thus, they have gender.  Armanites are demons.  Therefore, all demons MUST have a gender and because mariliths have always been drawn as having female torso's, it's impossible for mariliths to not be female, thus, this image represents a major change in canon and is therefore wrong.</blockquote>
