- Reproductive organs don't need to be justified. They, and the uses to which
- they are put, simply ARE, whether you approve or not; the only question is
- whether and/or how much you intend to PUNISH people for those particular
- uses of which you don't personally approve, and what the hell gives you the
- right to do so(?)
-
- BTW, did it ever occur to you that the scientific moniker "reproductive
- organs" is every bit as much an "emotional response" as those non-
- reproductive uses you are trying to denigrate, i.e. specifically, that they
- spring from a negative emotional response to non-procreative sex? Scientists
- have emotions too. And biases.
