It would be more useful (IMHO), to differentiate between
"created" memes and "inherited" memes. Inherited memes
(male or female) are the result of a natural selection
"agenda" which we have never (historically) influenced.
A more fundamental question becomes whether males *and*
females can divorce themselves from their non-chosen
genetic programs and write their own script or whether
we will remain shadows or offspring of those unconsciously
derived agendas?
A few years ago, I seem to recall an article about a
scientist discovering a branch of fungi which had
a dozen or more "sexes".
Why do we have to confine ourselves to perspectives
"tainted" by the genetic tree we happen to currently
be in?
