 * Thus there are females of hyper- to hypo-feminine, with males of hypo- to hyper-masculine grades, and the least feminine individuals stand no more apart but interdigitate with or overlap, in many respects, the least masculine, so as, to be separable perhaps only by the main sex organs; while the most masculine and feminine are decidedly farther apart than the large majority, who may be termed more or less orthosexual.
 * 1963, Muriel Spark, The Girls of Slender Means, Alfred A. Knopf, page 74:

 * Are not the "marriages" among male homosexuals (Hooker, 1965; also personal communication) in our society such a case, at least as clearly as the orthosexual "marriages" of the Nuer?

 * For example, I hope it would not suggest that they “just say no” to misogyny and rape, as though it were simply a matter of will-power, and as though they need to control their intrinsic ability to hurt girls, thereby reinforcing the notion that boys are powerful and dangerous and girls are vulnerable and in need of protection. Likewise, I hope it would somehow convey to them the joys they would be forfeiting, whether or not they are orthosexual, by failing to see girls and women as partners and agents.
