It is a sincere question. And I suspect I'd actually respect either an answer that the emphasis on sex and gender drama is tiresome or that the extra attention is flattering and empowering.

EDIT: The edit to the parent changed the meaning of my response. I'm glad I looked back. I should have quoted.

To be clear, before editing my question was:

Is this comment intended as snark or is it a genuine question?

Sorry. I thought I edited it quickly enough that you would only see the edited question :). I certainly edited it before I saw your reply.

I certainly edited it, before I saw your reply.

Understood, I realize making the meaning of my reply too highly dependent on unquoted context makes the meaning my comments fragile. I'm surprised I forgot to quote, actually.

Would the answer to your question influence whether you see this call for narratives as being useful or not?

It would have some influence. And I'm curious about such things.
