I was completely unaware that one’s sex determines how a work is translated.

Learn something new every day, I suppose.

Perhaps the reference to a translator’s gender should be viewed with a look at Constance Garnett’s translations of the Russian classics - she single-handedly slaughtered those books in pose, style, and meanings, rendering them nearly unreadable.

So there might be something to the gender thing.

Yes, and today we gave such a spectrum of sexual flavors to select from.
Idiotic concept

If ANYTHING, the world of Mycenaean, “Dark Age” and Classical Greece was DOMINATED by males.
