    Hi Kenneth,

    Reading Dugatkin's book, he's talking primarily about the role of memes in
    mate choice, so I would guess that there are gender based/related genes at
    least in the sense that Dugatkin is talking. Or perhaps it's that the same
    meme affects genders in different ways?

    Vincent
