I think many women are ultra sensitive to this subject with good reason. Sheesh, if it were me I am sure I would be feeling giddy. Let me just take this one step further. We live in a world where misogyny & homophobia are still somewhat acceptable (or in some cases quite marketable), in the way that racism ones was (in jokes, in songs, etc.) This is not a request for political correctness. It is a request to take a deeper look into some of the words that are used to describe people & see how they might be offensive to a group as a whole. In this case women. This isn't aimed at anyone in particular. I think at times in our lives, each one of us (myself included) can stand a little education & cultural sensitivity training. There is a big difference here between political correctiveness (which I view as a superficial trying to be a certain way)& cultural sensitivity (which I view as taking time to understand others). Perhaps I am extra sensitive. I believe words have power. I think it is good to choose them wisely. Thanks for the soapbox. ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
