Further to my earlier posting re Naomi Mitchison, her 'Solution Three' posits
the societal inculcation of near universal homosexuality as a solution to
global overpopulation (plus very selective cloning). Her view on this--while
I'm thinking about it and typing--is almost diametrically the reverse of
Tepper's in 'Gate to Women's Country'; i.e. far from sexual drives being
biologically innate, most people will do what society expects/approves,
except for a small handful of non-conformists (there are a few unregenerate,
somewhat stigmatised, heterosexuals with children left in her society)--the
social conditioning argument taken almost to its utmost.
