Mosquitoes and Gender
There's this huge mosquito in the room with me. It's feeding on me, and I am feeding it. Four bites by my right elbow, three by my right ankle. He or she must be burping. Do mosquitoes burp? Is it politically correct to allow for the possibility that it is a female mosquito and not a male one as I assumed? Was it chauvinistic of me to assume it is a male mosquito? Is this line of thinking a waste of time? LGBTQ... maybe needs an "S" at the end for Straight or “H” for “Heteros
