Epideromancy "feminine"? (was Re: [UA] UA unintenionally sexist? (LONG!))

[med12 at cornell.edu]

I really want the discussion to end, but an interesting point came to mind:

Could epideromancy be coded as "feminine?"

Statistics (which I know don't necessarily mean anything) say that more 
'women' are cutters (people who cut themselves to relieve pain or for a 
host of other psychological reasons) and are more likely to suffer from 
body image issues, anorexia, bulimia, etc. (although there has been a recent 
upswing in men (especially gay teens) with eating disorders).

Thoughts?

Just for the record: I don't really believe in the ideas of masucline and 
feminine. I took someone to task last night for calling a person 
"butch"--and after a long question & answer process was able to "unpack" 
that into meaning "they have a deep voice."
