I want to support those who feel comfortable with the ways things are presently run on the board---and I want to support those of us who do not.Perhaps you have to be forty, fifty, older. . and to have come into your own, to understand the conviction with which someone like myself or, if I may, Iso, have no *interest* in having a "dad," kindly or not. No *interest* in the boring sexual/power politics of *Control.* The whole guy thing. . it gets very, very old. Fast.
If it makes you feel secure to have an "authority figure" in charge, fine.
Please respect that women my age neither want nor appreciate one. it's offensive, it's stifling, and they tend to be dead wrong nearly *all* the time.
Bob is just a person. My pdoc to who I owe my life is just a person. I am just a person. You are just a person. If things can't proceed on that basis. . .something's wrong.
Forgive me if I've been naive.. . .but I thought everybody knew this stuff. I honestly did.
