I'm Freakin' Out!!!
Funny thing is Jill (who is in grad school studying marriage and family therapy) and I were have a discussion similar to this at dinner just a week or so ago. Seems they talked about this in class recently.arno wrote:It is odd that a "stranger" can help us many times when our intimate mate cannot. However, this seems to be the way it's most effective. People go to counsellors for treatment, go to college for study, etc. all of who are strangers but they go.
On a side note, I enjoyed your trip report Chester. Sounds like you girls had fun and accomplished a lot.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.
Yes, ye little snipling, it does bug me. I'd be excluded for no reason but gender. Doesn't that strike you as a little sideways? Its not ego, its catagorical exclusion.
Oh, and Artsay, you are assigned to stay after school with the other 7th grade boys today. Bad girl.

It is a know fact that women learn differently than men, which after our weekend class arno wholeheartly agreed, so why shouldn't there be a class for solely women? also some women feel more comfortable expressing their feeling with other women, and maybe men would express their feeling (and yes i do believe men have feelings) more in an all male class. i don't have a problem with all male or all female classes as long as everyone feels comfortable in the learning environment.
