"P.S. Why do I assume Aorto is a "her". I'm not sure. There is a sensitivity in Aorto's voice which I associate with a feminine perspective. It is a fact that women are usually the care-givers in our society."

No Plutarch, don't flatter Aorto, he is only a man.
A woman doesn't have time to worry about the abstract ramifications of cultural transmutations, she is too busy living life as it is.

Sadly it is a man's plight to fuss and quibble over such trucks and trifles, it keeps them from being underfoot.

Wanna bet?
