Seer666: usually, when people are being careful in their use of language, sex = having reproductive organs of a certain sort and gender = being inclined in a certain way, i.e., masculine or feminine. Just trying to be helpful; I'm by no means any more careful with my language on a regular basis than anyone else.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
