<p>I don’t know if 16th Century poet <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poets/detail/michael-drayton" target="_blank">Michael Drayton</a> can be considered a great man, but he was esteemed by literary critics at the time. Here’s an <a href="https://books.google.de/books?id=3H3RAAAAMAAJ&amp;pg=PA127&amp;lpg=PA127&amp;dq=Drayton+Mooncalf+He%27s+too+much+woman+and+She%27s+too+much+man&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=tLehH4pqMm&amp;sig=0XBdUAaw4mINY1RXDp11SV681ZQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;redir_esc=y#v=onepage&amp;q=Drayton%20Mooncalf%20He%27s%20too%20much%20woman%20and%20She%27s%20too%20much%20man&amp;f=false" target="_blank">excerpt</a> from his long-form poem “The Moon-Calf”, (a moon-calf is an abortive fetus of a cow, sometimes applied to human fetuses). Colloquially, it had come to mean during its time in common usage any grotesque thing. Drayton hasn’t a kind word for androgynes, which he thinks “pollute the earth”.</p>
<blockquote><p>Quoth one, ” ‘Tis monstrous, and for nothing fit;<br/> And, for a monster, quick, let’s bury it.”<br/> “Nay,” quoth another, “rather make provision,<br/> If possibly, to part it by incision,<br/> For were it parted, for aught I can see,<br/> Both man and woman it may seem to be.”<br/> “Nay,” quoth a third. “that must be done with<br/> And, were it done, our labor is but lost: [cost;<br/> For when w’ have wrought the utmost that we can,<br/> He’s too much woman, and she’s too much man:<br/> Therefore, as ’tis a most prodigious birth,<br/> Let it not live here to pollute the earth.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The great men knew that masculine women and feminine men are abominations against nature. They would weep to see their descendants glorifying what once they thought a blight upon the earth.</p>
