Subject: [Civic-Courage] The courage of all people - women and men
Send reply to: Civic-Courage@yahoogroups.com
Dear CCers,
The first list of heroes that I made up were all men! That left out half the population.
What did my first list demonstrate?
- my bias?
- the bias of the media?
- a differential tendency for males and females to operate in certains
spheres or in certain modes?
- all of the above.
Probably all of the above is a good answer.
What should we do about it then? We could also make a conscious effort to search out the courage that exists in the areas where we normally habitually don't look. We could give recognition to the courage of women within the current pattern, and we could help make it possible for more women to be seen and recognised in the public sphere?
Cheers, Philip
