not just the past...its amazing that we haven't yet mastered the art of overcoming the notion that biological difference and ethical value are not related. in particular, i note how women's discourse is devalued-they recieve equal rights only to the extent that they pattrn "male" behaviors of exerting domiance, emotional reserve, etc... if they retain modes of communication more traditionally associated with women, they get a pretty cold shoulder. honorary man status should not be the precondition of social equality.
