I had promised a gender relations thread. Here are a few links.
This is in process of editing. I'll make a long list. I'll explain my thinking as I add. First of all, I was just thinking that as far as national boundaries are concerned the new country in 4 months and 7 days should be about the end of new country formation and almost all border-type realignments (The biggest remaining is the Taiwan issue). In place, we probably should move toward scientificically demographic global legal system with urban zones and their overlaps. Then the issue of discrimination against 'homosexuals' (not a scientific concept at bottom, though it is a definable word) came up. You can sort of follow what I'm thinking through 5 posts (and if you actually know something, you might see out-of-date wiki that needs help).

Ah, I'll just leave it at this. I'm losing my internet at home for a while, and what little I do will not be here. Perhaps somebody else will pick up with where this is headed. There's a lot going on to discuss the question I asked. Maybe a look at some science fiction by somebody who has actually read more than the Asimov and a few other things that I have. And there are plenty of other angles.

I think there might be a correct religion connected with the quest for immortality involving a daisy-chain marriage pursuit to a maximum of 720 spouses. Can't figure my own way out of this on a personal level with people I meet normally, and I'm getting a lot of alpha-numerological coincidence material by modifications of my name (mostly my own so far).
