From Brian King
The editorial “Two parents, same sex” puzzles over what the phenomenon should be called. It suggests using the unwieldy “homoparentism” (24 April, p 8). May I suggest “Amazonogenesis” from Greek mythology? Of course in those times the women actually went once a year for temporary unions with Gargarensians, rearing only the female children, at least according to several of the myths about them.
