Audra & The Antidote

Interesting point Norah makes about not having a male child with her fealme partner, due to probems caused to boys by absence of a father figure - is this not really just an absence of the imposition of social constructs, rather than anything fundamental to the male being as such? Is this absence objectively such a bad thing, or is it merely perceived as such by a sexually-soicliased majority? Surely the point of this is that the majority of inherent "maleness" is a result of socialisation rather than genetics. Perhaps what we should be aiming for is not to encourage this traditional socialisation, but to encourage a greater openness, honesty and awareness of self, whatever the perceived implications?
