People are fluid and sometimes not what they seem. People might marry someone only for them to slowly reveal themselves to be not what they signed up for sometime afterwards. This is especially common among spouses separated by a draft. If separation is never allowed, it sets everyone up to accumulate negativity.

True, but in most cases you could at least expect everyone within a genus to have something like this in common, as it's rare for a single species in a crowded genus to have certain traits like that unique to them.

There's a popular conspiracy theory that the RH factor was inherited from aliens, and this throws a wrench into that too.

I knew what it was about but didn't know about the Freemasonry bit. I'm a woman, it's not like I'll have access to them. On Reddit I'm MozartWasARed and thought being TheMagicFlute on SaidIt (which I have watched the animated VHS tape of) would be a good nod, since they're both Mozart-related plays.

Yes, it's named after the play The Magic Flute by Mozart. I don't see how it's Masonic though.

They, by classic definition, have inclinations inside them which have potential for danger. I don't support that recklessness. Though the sheer umbrella of things people will lump with them, and their approach when they find a real or perceived one, is itself nothing short of barbaric. Peoples' refusal to be critical on the matter leads to collateral damage nobody wants to take credit for.
