I'm gonna go with Molon Labe on this one. It is, of course, not unlike Skybird to be concerned about the sky falling, but (un)fortunately it is not. The article spins a series of myths about a culture that is known to most western commentators through media sensationalizations, and thus becomes plausible and easy to believe. It's believed in much the same way as the myths of the sexually-repressed Victorians, or the older myths of manly men and womanly women of old, whose shadows fall over those miserable unmanly and unfeminine (who knows which is which!) ones of today. Repeated ad nauseum, generation to generation. All of that is just plain old rehashing of the fears of the otherness and deviance of our own sexuality, which we'd rather identify with a myth than the messy and complex reality.
