Actually, I believe humans are supposed to be androgynous *relative to most other mammals*. It's natural for us to be highly attuned to differences among individuals in our own species -- in fact, I believe primates are noted for having broad individual differences in facial structure precisely because of their social nature and the need to visually distinguish individuals (as opposed to smelling their differences as many other mammals do). I believe the following to be true about humans: 1 -- Female humans can be sexually receptive over long periods of time. In most mammals, the female is receptive only at estrus. 2 -- The difference in size between male and female humans is less than for many mammals (though certainly not all). This certainly doesn't mean that the sexual responses of men and women vary -- God knows they vary among individuals of the same sex! On the other hand, we're not so far apart once you get out of an anthropomorphic view of things. If you're curious, in addition to M&J there's always "The Naked Ape" and "The Whisperings Within".
