Ray,
You are absolutely right. A lot of times, men skip important issues and
come to a resolution having to do with the power structure of the group
or with known vested interests. A lot of times, women realize that there
are better ways of dealing with the issue but still are unaware that the
power structure has ended discussions. I certainly was not trying to
imply that men are better decision makers, just that they are attune to
signals coming in from the bench.
