I have no objections to anyone's swathes of stuff appearing here, but it should be possible to set up a mailserver on soda, if you Ask Shannon Nice, I'd imagine.

I heortily agree. Of course, this myth is going to be in substantial part _why_ 15% practice non-gender roles (i.e., is the rationisation for this), so some conservatism by Mom and Pop would be manifested. Ernalda: "Put on a clean dress and go play, dear." Vinga: "Grrrrrr..."

Apart from his Famed Detachability, of course. I agree this element seems odd in this context.
