tahnan: It's pretty much me, really. (Default)
Does anyone out there have a copy of Metamagical Themas, and can therefore spare me a trip down to the library this week? I recall Hofstadter quoting (probably in chapter 7) an oldish anthropology textbook which used a "gender-neutral" masculine pronoun when talking about sexual development in children, thus leading to some anatomically absurd assertions. I'd love it if a friend in possession of the book were able to supply me with the quote.
