@jeru @georgia @subnetter man I had an effortpost and then hit the back button...
anyway, as a credentialed male I like women, yeah, and I don't understand homosexuality. I feel no meaningful affinity for nearly everyone I meet (aside from a vague friendliness), and even though I have friends and family and peers and know how to navigate most social situations if I'm in them, interacting with people IRL rarely even comes to mind as an option.
so aside from sexual attraction and a drive to partner up and create a more or less normal family, it's hard to say if any social affinity has to do with people's sex, and I don't really care about objective or subjective measures of superiority
