Dear Nic & Pi,
The reference might have been clearer if I had written 'THIS importance'.
If the women who are able to participate in abstract discussions are less
interested in the type of morality and philosophy that's discussed on this
list than the men who are (a supposedly equal number), these discussions may
not have enough practical relevance.
With friendly greetings,
Wim

The importance of women or matters of morality and philosophy ?

I wish there were more women who actively take part in these type of
discussionstoo, but I would not let that absense cast doubts about their
importance! 99% of the people I know, male and female, are not involved in
matters of philosphical thought and yet they have earned my respect over the
time. I personally may not respect their rare philosophical comments
(because I dismiss them quicly), but yet I consider the people important in
their own way.
I guess the question is `what is importance?'. I think importance is nothing
other than Quality. So when we say that someone does not have importance, we
are essentially saying `Quality does not have this person'. :)
BTW, I also doubt the value of the static patterns of fatherhood or even
marriage.
