GENDER THEORY? What a waste of time. There are two genders. Male and Female. Both are equally important for procreation and are also fun. What more is there to say?
Big Don, while there are only two genders, society has come to accept so much perversion, that just maybe a bit of education on “gender-ism” would be a good idea.
