Yet another example.
This morning I had a conversation with my female assistant, we’ll call her Hannah, that went something like this:
Hannah: “Do you know what show I like?”
Me: ”No.”
Hannah: ”Dancing with the Stars.”
Me: ”Ha ha ha ha ha ha. That’s funny. Why do you like that show?”
Hannah: ”I like to watch people dance and Christi Yamaguchi is one of the dancers.”
Me: “…and…”
Hannah: ”You remember who Christi Yamaguchi is don’t you.”
Me: ”Of course I remember who she is I was older than six when the Olympics were played.”
The conversation went on for another five minutes or so but you get the picture. I just finished a doctorate class on Biblical perspectives on gender where we spent most of the time debating whether or not there are actually any differences between men and women. Case and point.
