At certain risk of offending: I have for sure listened to overwhelmingly
much opinion from those with two X chromosomes about how males like myself
ought to behave in academia and everywhere else; I'd hope that the discourse
would at least be a heterogender dialog. If "we" are to reach our mutual
nirvana, we must each play every role, hackles relaxed.
That is: if you can't _be_ the other side, we're nicked.
Respectfully,
