I have to echo that. Why would you dilute her down that way? Her being a
venus had nothing to do with her abilities at math! She just chose not to
pursue that because she probably didn't want to. Would her being a
mathemetician made her less sexy (to you?)? Is it your opinion somehow
that being interested in mathematics turns you into something non-sexed, or
drains you of your attractiveness? Or interferes with your sexuality?
What an odd thing if you do. What does one thing have to do with another?
And er, just what would have her "female Psyche" have been turned *into*?
A male Psyche? A non-sexual Psyche?
Are you implying that an interest in mathematics leads to a destruction of
sexual identity if you are female? Where on earth would you get that idea
from?
