It’s like the old shamans who are often androgynous or homosexual: Since they’re outside normal routine, they’re specialized social critics and have sensitivities that others don’t have; they’re men who see aspects of male history from a woman’s point of view. That spectrum of experience is a useful information bank of supplementary intelligence that can be of real value in community self-understanding and awareness.
