accusations of sexism

for what it's worth, when i made the man\same remark i wasn't thinking in terms of gender or sexism at all. i was trying to ask about homo meaning man (or human, if you please) as opposed to homo meaning same.

I was also questioning the validity of using (hu)man to describe a phrase that in turn describes (hu)mans. i disapprove of that kind of circular logic.

it amazes me how difficult it can be for me to communicate my intent here. like the fact that my taste\flavour question was interpreted by most to be a question about water. sigh


EDIT Ok, in looking back at my post I see that the homosexaul example does make the human/male distinction. i didn't even realize i did that. thus the remark about my difficulty in communicating my intent...
