fateschewtoy: [calling from her cell phone on the bus on the way to my house] Randomly, something occurred to me and I had to call you about it.
Katt: ??
fateschewtoy: You know how you have this pet-theory that Kryptonians have a naturally low sex drive due to millennia of using birthing matrices and cloning and all that? Y'know, they don't need the sex drive anymore 'cause they're technologically advanced and uber-scientific.
Katt: Yeah.
fateschewtoy: Does that mean they have small genitalia? Or none at all?
Katt: Genitals are vestigial so yes. Or my other pet theory-- it retracts.
fateschewtoy: Retracts?
Katt: Like horses and dogs. It's inside most of the time. And it's smaller. Average human or smaller; no one's ever going to call them tripod, really.
fateschewtoy: Even with birthing matrices?
Katt: Well, for guys especially, it has functions outside of reproduction. And really, nature is lazy; it will change as little as possible. As long as something cobbled together works and there's no reason to get rid of anything, it'll stay put. Like wisdom teeth. It's easier to wank into a test tube than do exploratory surgery so the parts are still there and functional, just at a lower rate.
fateschewtoy: Huh.
Katt: Did you know female hyenas have
pseudo-penii?
fateschewtoy: ... Nature is WEIRD.
