Yeah, I would like to respectfully post a challenge to @avclub-2d0cca95ad6a2061d208d765e79af478:disqus 's argument. From a base-identification platform, I would personally say that it would be easier for me to relate to a person of an opposite gender/similar cultural background than to same gender/different cultural…
