Ha ha, you're so funny. This is a reference to a long (300-some comments) post on my Facebook page that started with a question from a good friend of mine on whether the concept of "charisma" is gendered male. Several men, including Michael, thought the word and concept "gendered" were too ugly to talk about. (They were all men, of course.) One guy thought the whole issue was "divisive," as if that were a reason not to talk about it. I'd actually thought that most men on the left had evolved beyond this point, but I was proven wrong. And here's additional proof from our favorite wiseguy. Doug _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
