Yeah, SP, I hear you on #6. It doesn't work as well in print, somehow.
However, to hear him articulate and claim respect for his masculine autonomy, considering his upbringing and former self-doubt, warmed every last corner of my heart. The Wolf actually makes sense in context of a relationship/personality description system based on zoo animals that a former poster on the SSM board came up with and which has become a sort of personal shorthand. Useful, but a whole 'nother can of worms. See, you can never escape the animal kindgom!
