No male relative appears doofus. It was written when male-male relationships didn't 'exist'.

:stupid:

It's like those card tricks where you memorize a card, and the magician makes it "disappear" from the hand, when he really shows you an entirely new hand. So focused on the one thing you're looking for... you miss the forest for the trees.

It doesn't say "brother", "father's brother", etc. in there, either.
