Re: preamble

I'm really glad to hear your thoughts on this sean. 

I agree, while male and female dont pose such big problems  (although having said that i should note that I just finished a ten thousand word chapter on the topic of what is Woman? for my thesis :) the concepts masculine and feminine are more tricky. the more i look into them the less happy i am with them. I don't trust them either, because I think they drag around a lot of (unexamined) cultural baggage. Though, of course, i too use them unproblematically in conversation! But in a more considered context, I tend to prefer the terms Ken Wilber uses somewhat interchangeably with feminine and masculine modes of being: communal and agentic .
