This is a homosocial society. It regards heterosociality as aberrant. I found that out when (aged 11) I chickened out of crossing over from the boys' side of the aisle to go sit with my girlfriends. I am profoundly heterosocial. The rituals of male homosociality- talking about cars, playing golf, drinking and messing about in packs- have always disgusted me.
Seems there isn't a lot of different between male homosociality and female homosociality , at least in the youth of both sexes.
I find this all very confusing. I just discovered the world metrosexual. Sheesh.
Oh, I was going to say when I started this that I would certainly have found you more interesting at age 11 than the male homosocials you chose not to mix with. I think, though, that I would decribe you as bisocial.
That's supposed to be a compliment. Somehow it doesn't sound so complimentary...
