think this is the esssence of male/female duality. And I have read lots of

Dear OS Folks,
Well, having read the thread to now, an idea popped into my white male
brain---maybe we need to drop the word "facilitation" and "facilitator", since
it
usually implies a facilitator-centric mindset and model, and go with "open
space
holder" or something else like that. If on

About ten years ago, I attended a wonderful international women's conference
in Seattle. The participants included about 2000 women from around the
