Re: [microsound] people saying stupid things about gender

[Jake Hardy <jake.hardy@xxxxxxxx>]

Well, I agree that that comment aobut men being bettercreators is stupid.  But,
gender is interesting because of the amount that we don't know about
differences or lack there of.  I do think that the lack of women in all forms
of culture (art, politics, etc.) for so long in history was a shame as we've
been missing a different outlook on those areas.  Whether that different out
look is caused by biological or environmental reasons is an entirely different
debate.  In short, the fact that more and more women are getting involved in
politics, music, etc. has definately added to our culture.  I'm not denying
there is still a long way to go, and were definately not moving fast enough,
but it's still good to see.
