  1. Sometimes they were entrapped by the police. Also, they could be fired from their job, blackmailed, physically attacked and threatened without police protection. Many male homosexuals lived in fear.

  2. I'm not so sure about that. Expectations of a person's performance can subtly affect that person's performance. 'Don't worry your pretty little head about it, blondie, YOU'LL GET MARRIED ANYWAY'. I kid you not (1960s), and the inferiority complex and psychological block induced cannot be underestimated.

  4. Persecution-appropriation from the struggle of women - for enfranchisement, for example - and the struggle for decriminalisation of male homosexuality by gay men. I'm thinking of 'Trans' particularly, here.

  5. It seems to me that one defining trait of the postmodernists is that they have made language float free of reality. Is this a 'Duh! Water is wet, thanks for that!' thing to say?

  6. This is beginning to sound a bit Lamarckian - yes, if you are right-handed, you use the right hand more often, so it gets progressively stronger and more muscular. So long as you are not suggesting that this - acquired-by-practice - increased strength in the right hand - or the left hand, if you are left-handed - is itself passed on genetically to your offspring.
