   How would you characterize male and female discourse
here?  This is a quite interesting issue for me, having
being  the  only  man in the Women's Voices Commitee of
the  last  Parliament  of World's Religions (Barcelona,
2004)  where  we  discussed  something similar and made
some  proposals.  (I  will  copy  our manifest in other
message.)
