I agree, Tricia. FairyFaye, Are you sure. What about your pink girly girl name( handle)? I think you are into communion big time. And Carol Gilligan says that she has come to the conclusion that whatever the woman does is feminine. So I also understand you from that perspective. Agency. And that is why I like gILLIGAN'S STATEMENT. (COMPUTER ACTING UP ) As for the serial dating. It is an option, a choice and hopefuly would be a responsibile choice with respect and caring as we want in any relationship.
Of course, if a woman is talking like a druken sailor with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth etc. That is not feminine. But then who likes to talk to any drunken sailor with a cig hanging out of the mouth. And I took Gilligan's statement out of context and want to try and find where I read that.
By the way, I have a daughter-in- law named Carol Gilligan and I gave her the book,
"The Birth of Pleasure" last year for Christmas and lent her "In Their Own Voice".. Tricky Move. Two of Carol Gilligan's books.
I too, like the subject- men and women. I also believe that you can get that Phd. Fairy Faye. When do you take the first step? It could be outrageous if you continued to write in pink for your papers etc. You might have to use your real name. Smile and Love Pattye
