I have often wondered for example whether if women were equally in charge of choosing news stories, we would have more emphasis on stories about peace and less about war.<BR/><BR/>That said, I think that the power to (as compared to the traditional male orientation of power over) is in fact a positive good, and that we all have a responsibility to the community as well as to ourselves to use that positive power even if it takes some effort and isn't always perfect. That requires us to engage in politics and the economy as part of being in the human community.<BR/><BR/>Would you agree?Gloria Feldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177910351891860817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693738848429710464.post-40114904037508311602008-07-23T16:57:00.000-04:002008-07-23T16:57:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gloria Feldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177910351891860817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693738848429710464.post-46801584670094682712008-07-23T13:44:00.000-04:002008-07-23T13:44:00.000-04:00Maybe women have a different perspective on what i...Maybe women have a different perspective on what is important? And why would that be bad?<BR/><BR/>I don't see power for its own sake and the accumulation of stuff as a good reason to do anything. Being defined by one's job? Why is that something to aspire to? Holding office because one panders to the lesser evils? <BR/><BR/>There is also the problem of how we are raised and how culture actively works to blinker us through our formative years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
