So, yeah, if you were seeing a dichotomy between it's a groundbreaking sourcebook and you didn't like it because you don't know how to take a joke. Yikes! That would be pretty offensive. I'd more carefully clarify that if I rewrote it at this point, and probably use the book as a core place to talk about the problems of biological essentialism. (And that's what I expect to do when I get to my update of that part of the histories, probably in a year or so.)</blockquote>
