Thefactthatmenreceivedaconsciousattentionnotaccordedtowomenwas, therefore, anaspectofmaleprivilege-althoughperhapsAlanTuringwouldnothaveseenitinquitethisway.
这其实是男性特权的某种体现——尽管图灵也许不会这样认为。

1931年的美国小说《异兄怪弟》中出现过这个想法:"你看,我们的生殖器,并不只是用来生殖,它还控制化学物质,使男人像个男人,女人像个女人。"

这一情况被巧妙地解释为:"某些正常人其实是潜在的同性恋,而那些高比值的同性恋者则并不是先天的同性恋。"

"该问题导致的社会影响日趋重要,迫切需要通过更广泛的手段进行解决。"
