What I really think women want is respect, and men want understanding. Actually I read that somewhere, and I know that what I really want out of my marriage is respect. And I’m the wife. Also, food for thought, one of the last matriarchal cultures is in China, the Mosui (if I recall correctly). They don’t necessarily mate for life, although they could if they wanted to, but have something called a “walking marriage". The women are in charge completely, and her partner in love doesn’t even help raise their own children, but instead lives in his mother’s home and helps raise his sister’s children. There is no divorce because the “love partnership” doesn’t have to last until death, but can end at any time. At any rate, the whole set-up works so well there is no word in their language for rape or murder and there is no crime. Why do you think it works so well?? I haven’t visited here in a long time.

I’ll be curious to see which direction the discussion takes this Tuesday!

UNIFI also seemed vastly underrepresented, and with less participation from the “regulars” which is certainly not a bad thing. Listening to the podcast, I also felt as though the number of speakers coming from a religious position far outweighed the number of non-religious speakers, and it was heartening to hear from pro-science religious folks since the issue tends to get polarized quickly.

How many people would you estimate spoke on each side of the issue? Were most of the speakers from Kaio and UNIFI, or were there a lot of speakers from the general community?

Very spirited discussion. Wish I could have been there for that topic! Is it going to be back at Voodoo in April, or is it going to stay on campus? I’d vote for on campus! Thanks for the podcast!
