- This in itself is an exclusionary belief, as is presupposes the character

- I realise that I am going to be slammed for saying this, but saying
- that there is generally a "male" way of speaking, and a "female," (and
- presumably better) way of speaking is in itself invoking the "there
- are two kinds of X" thinking which you consider to be exclusionary,
- and indeed, only the province of males.

- CE> "Just think of Relativity applied to Gender."
-
- This is how *try* to think, in spite of the handicap of my gender. :-)
