Well, he did make a good point at the end of class. He was talking about how if you see a man acting or doing something in a feminine way, or a female doing something in a masculine way, he said that most of us will say "Oh man, he must be gay" and "Man, she must be a dyke," and he said "Next time you say that, stop and think about why you had to say that out loud to yourself." That's a very good point.

He also said we should unlearn all of the gender specific stuff we were taught as children and that we'd live happier if we did that. I think that's impossible to do, but I can only afford one fight per day.
