Even though Halbertcicles do have a tendency to take on, shall we say, a more masculine form, there is a balancing yin-yang dot in the middle of this aquatic equation. This Halbertcicle was the first one to bear a distinctly more feminine form.

I have long felt it a poor choice of words to use the term "opposite sex." The "other sex" is better. That at least gets us into the neutral zone. But I prefer think in terms of the "complementary sex." It puts a distinctly positive spin on the situation.

Using language that creates a positive attitude about the relationship between the sexes is a good thing. It honors God's creativity.
