they may not "feel" like women, but the characteristic homosexuals are very much feminine in every way, including the gender personality. Things they the typical female shows, empathy, the way they handle emotions (which men handle to, but differently), and other things, the stereotypical homosexual shows them just the same.

Now, the more "normal" male homosexuals, the ones that still play sports, aren't afraid of injury while working with machinery (let's call this the lumberjack homosexual)... no, they don't demonstrate those characteristics. :p

Reverse those two groups, and that shows the female side of homosexuality. Lumberjack females are a strange bunch. :D

True. However, many still tend to have a "this guy is different". I have no problem with it whatsoever, and there are quite a few who I wouldn't just call homosexual. Quite a few people of both genders are bi, some suppress it entirely, others shift in and out of preferred gender, others are just whores and who they are with just depends on who they picked up that night. :p

Bisexual behavior has been an ancient trend in civilization.

But it is true, full-on homosexuality, for either gender, definitely doesn't require behavior traits of the opposite sex.
I'd wager most of the homosexuals whose behavior traits are entirely within their gender, are truly bi but just decided to focus on one instead of playing both genders... and that the entirely homosexual ones, the ones who cannot stand to think of having sex with the opposite gender, quite likely share behavior/personality traits with the opposite gender.

Seriously??? This is what they spend millions of dollars on? Not curing diseases or something else we need, but a cuddle hormone? If a guy doesn't like to cuddle then he doesn't like to cuddle. Who cares? There's women who don't like to cuddle either. Do we need to make a spray for them too since it's obviously so morally wrong to not want to cuddle? If the woman is with someone she wants to be more feminine, then find someone that is.

Why don't they make a spray that will make a woman want to FULLY please a man?

A spray for cooking, a spray for cleaning, a spray for sex, etc.

because that'd be sexist

You can only be sexist when it's against women. Not men.

I thought oxytocin just made you tired after you got off. I wouldn't want to be sleepy all the time.

It says it will make macho men more affectionate and in tune with others' feelings. You can still be macho but in tune with how others feel. It's called social intelligence. Some men have it, others do not. The men at the top of the corporate ladder usually do.

I'd argue it's less of a learned trait, and more of a physiological trait. I'd say it's the brain type. A blend of male and female brain structures, depending on the ratio of male-to-female structure style, can lead to males having empathetic qualities, among other things. To some extent, it can also give the ability to accurately read faces, something men with predominantly male brains are incapable of doing.

It'd be interesting to see if certain career paths, and certain brain styles, are more of a match for each other than others... and if brain styles can make it easier or harder to move up the job ladder.

The hormone has already been around. They made it a spray. Chill.
