Even with trees, it's a sausage fest

I had no idea that there is such a thing as a gendered tree. :rolleyes:
While tracking down the origin of this trend, Ogren stumbled upon perhaps the first trace of sexism in urban landscaping in a 1949 USDA Yearbook of Agriculture. The book advised: “When used for street plantings, only male trees should be selected, to avoid the nuisance from the seed.”
This part is in keeping with animal sexuality:
Another argument proffered against female trees is that certain ones can produce an unpleasant odor. For example, when a lady gingko tree is in heat, it produces an odor not dissimilar to rotting fish or vomit.

Man you can't let news like this get you down all the time. Sometimes you just shake your head and move on with your day. You only have so many fvcks to give in a day.
