I know, right? That's more or less my mission in this thread, dunno if if I'm doin' the gadfly thing right or just being obnoxious (classic philosopher's dilemma).
As for exhaustive descriptions, enumeration of characteristics is precisely the wrong way to go about ascertaining the dao of things  that's the problem with "bad essentialism." The constructivists are right in that gender can be performed in different ways in different contexts (because of course signifiers only mean things in the context of other signifiers), but what they don't understand is that these performances are always about something, and I think that 'something' is pretty much always the same and is about biology as much as anything else. But you can't 'describe' it in the sense of enumeration of characteristics, that's a fool's errand (kinda like describing the fibonnaci sequence or smth by exhaustively enumerating its members, that's just not what you do). It's a bit like a genotype-phenotype distinction but I don't want to pursue that analogy too far.
edit: I've only seen a few south park episodes but should I watch that one because I'm a lit theorist? Or will it hurt my feelingzz?

Acting like Obama only attracts women if you have massive power, fame, and privlege.
For those of us who don't benefit from those preselection effects, playing the nice guy/white knight/beta male is a great path to celibacy or cuckoldry.

yeah you make your ninth post on TL a useless poll on page eight hundred whatever, takes up a lot of space I gotta scroll past and man is my middle finger sore. anyway polls are kinda frowned upon here so don't make them as a good rule of thumb

yeah word I'll do that. I don't like south park enough to watch it a lot but I like the good episodes (edit: as far as the exclamation point goes, my handle is supposed to be "samizdat" but somebody already had that so the most creative thing I could think of was the exclamation point. you guys can call me whatever but you don't have to go to special effort for the exclamation point)

I giggled.
If the llama gets reelected we're going to have a much more proactive president since he won't have to worry about reelection, methinks. If Romney gets elected we're going to have thread after thread about one thing or another as well. We'll all get to see each other, I'm sure of it

There's obviously a balance issue here. You'll be hard-pressed to find a great girlfriend if you're too nice. Likewise, it'll be pretty damn hard to find a nice, smart girl if you're just a giant douche.

When it comes down to it, if I were to use your language, we probably act similarly on very different brands of "asshole". I guess what I'm saying is that there is a huge difference between overt misogyny and "Bill Clinton" misogyny.
