We must examine OB's motives to narrow down the existential argument; what could she be after? Progression in existential philosophical thought, or justifying her hate towards one of the sexes?
I don't think you should be mentally paralyzed by thought but I think you should continue to have the thought in order to open the boundaries of the concept of what is between the two and when you can't define the concept anymore that is when you understand the foundation of what was previously a reified idea

and I think you project a lot of your lack of truly being able to define a reified concept mix that with the lack of confidence in you even having a defined sexuality onto OB's self assurance of how she defines herself and the concept.
