Well Randi, you are right--everyone is different. I agree
with you wholeheartedly that there are certainly plenty of teachers out
there who are willing and able to teach both sexes and not be distracted
by either sex. I always thought that when I train people I do just
that-I dont distinguish between who is male, who is female-I call that
professionalism.
But as you said, each to one's own,
