Thank you Alexandra...I agree fully. I beileve we co-evolved on the
planet earth and while we can observe some differences between the sexes,
we are fundamentally more alike than we are different. Our interpersonal
solutions are not found in the obsession with differences but more likely
found in mutual respect as equals. ("Equality is the ironclad logic of
social living." -Alfred Adler, MD) The patriarchal role definitions are
destructive and discouraging, and there is no reason to encourage male
"cave behavior" while suggesting that women are "talking heads." Warm
