A few days ago I received a link to a blog post called "Sara Buechner, Once David Buechner", by Ira Rosenstein.  In the post, Rosenstein displays his ignorance of the difference between sex ("what's between your legs") and gender ("what's between your ears").

While I was pondering how to approach my write-up about Rosenstein's post, the Ron Gold debacle happened at Bilerico.  As I read Gold's post, I couldn't help but notice one glaring commonality between the two screeds: apparent anxiety over penile amputation.
