You're right. "Semantically null" would have worked just as well.

You're confusing gender as physiology with social gender roles.

You are making a whole lot of claims without a whole lot of evidence.

" The issue isn't "poor little pretty girl", it's that having "succeeded" at that pretty, she's looking back and recognizing that it wasn't worth it."

Imagine rich Wall Street guys starting a campaign telling everyone that money doesn't make you happy and "doesn't move you forward in life."

The problem with the people that keep pointing out Lueke's history is that it ignores the possibility for redemption despite a checkered past. People make mistakes and they grow as a result of it.
