Yep, ideals are dangerous, if you ask me. Forcing people to conform to so much useless shit that is essentially arbitrary (as all culture is). I used to have a bloody ton of ideals when I was younger... and now, I nurture very few of them. I certainly don't give a flying fuck what people do with their genitals, as long as it's between consenting adults.

And the more empathetic, expressive, emotionally-intelligent (not emo) men AND women we have in the world (and the less macho, arrogant, and therefore insecure people), the better. We could all learn to be more compassionate, regardless of what kind of genitalia we have. (Does that qualify as an ideal? Damn!!)
