The other difference my dear friend: Women are more sensitive and emotional than *most* guys.
It is possible that they invited several women in the freedom movement (there really aren't that many hard core freedom loving women, sad to say... they are in the health freedom circles, but not as much in the overall liberty community) but they were unavailable to attend.
James and this panel are all good guys. They most certainly aren't anti-woman, or anything like that. We need to look at their records: They all quote people like Whitney Webb, Ayn Rand, and many others often.
Personally, and don't take this the wrong way, women have done a lot of damage to themselves by falling into several traps: Every guy who compliments a woman and opens the door for them isn't trying to get into their pants. (I often bring up the day I became enlightened as to how far we have fallen when I held the door open for a lady and she glared at me and went in the opposite door!!!). *Most* men aren't ever going to be the weepy sensitive guys that the liberation movement has demanded they become, and that isn't a bad thing. *Most* men are problem solvers and they look at things from that perspective so when their confidence and decisive nature offends ladies... don't take it personally... it's the way we are built. *Most* men *want* to take care of women, not because they believe women are weak, but because, again, they are made that way. (Look at the animal kingdom... it's the same with all creatures, even insects and birds). I could go on and on about the differences and how none of those differences are negatives... we are meant to compliment one another.
So... yeah, a woman's perspective would have been nice on the panel, but we need to be careful to not assume that James and "the guys" were purposely leaving women out. There was probably a reason there wasn't a woman represented on this panel.
Thanks for sharing your perspective, Jaan. I pretty much feel the same way.
Bingo, bingo, bingo!
If not for a few very good women, (and children) in my life ... I would have offed myself years ago. Japan Inc. can be harsh.
Absolutely agree.. and yes I'm guilty of thinking you were male. I'm quite a yang female myself :-)
