Just want to wish you well on your great summer trip. . . and to restate that I never thought you did something 'wrong' when you shared the limerick about the price of beer tattoo'd on a waitress' tthigh. Actually, I get that you are a great guy, esp. in the context of gender discrimination. . . one of the keepers.
Seeing that limerick on the list just reminded me that gender inequity is deeply embedded in our culture, even in the liberal circles I hang out in and something about your relatively harmless limerick helped me see how gender inequality is perpetuated. . . it is finely woven into all the tendrils of culture and just about everybody laughs as a good giggle that not-so-subtly reinforces the idea that women aren't quite as important as men. LIke most people attracted to change facilitation work, I want to live in a better world and I know, from the place where all my best wisdom arises, that we aren't going to put an end to war as long as many people think any category of human being is inferior to another. Have a great trip,Ralph. * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
