never began if never molested by female plumber

Wouldn't a "strangely female plumber" be an effeminate male plumber
Glenn just means it is unusual for women to work in difficult manual labour careers like plumbing."strangely female plumber"
what did he mean by this?
which one? I need to compare thisIn a different episode it said he first had sex when he was five.
I thought "strangely female" meant the it was a strange female aka a tranny idkGlenn just means it is unusual for women to work in difficult manual labour careers like plumbing.
IE a "strangely female logger" or a "strangely female roofer" or "strangely female garbage collector"
Three Kings,which one? I need to compare this
maybe he's so drunk/depressed he can't keep the years straight
I sorta figured, but ain't that weird phraseology? I would interpret "strangely female" as "femine in an unusual way" just like one would interpret "strangely beautiful" or "strangely enigmatic" similarly. Or maybe I'm just bad at EnglishGlenn just means it is unusual for women to work in difficult manual labour careers like plumbing.

I bet there are at least two of themI really doubt foid plumbers exist.
In a previous job I encountered a lot of plumbers. Out of more than a thousand I think there was only one foid. A job that requires hard work but isn’t high status won’t have foids in it but they will still whine about the wage gapI bet there are at least two of them
I get it, but "strangely female plumber" still sounds wrong to me to that end. Strangely, I don't have the same problem with "unusually female plumber", so I guess it's just me. As an aside, I don't think invoking Occam's razor is appropriate here, as my issue with the phrase is syntactical in nature, but I appreciate the effort.But women are not usually plumbers, so occam's razor is it just means it's strange for a plumber to be female.

I grok they have slightly different feels"strangely female plumber" still sounds wrong to me to that end. Strangely, I don't have the same problem with "unusually female plumber", so I guess it's just me.

Yeah, I get that, but I already considered your interpretation to be the most likely one based on context. I just kept bitching about how I find the phraseology inapt. Like I said, my issue with the phrase is syntactical, not semantical.Occam's Razor is to determine the most likely explanation of what Quagmire meant.
I think it's likely if he meant a tranny or something else extraordinary, there would have been a more prominent hint.
