It's really interesting to me how people didn't have more of a reaction to this blog post, but I really think it's just the nature of the exercise and the feelings it drew out of people.
I haven't had time to read every article, but having written one of my own I do know that simply taking the time to think about the kind of woman I want to be has actually made me feel softer and more caring and compassionate in the last few days. There is a real feeling of solidarity in the articles, and I think they didn't spark much debate because they simply speak for themselves. There is no need to argue over points as everyone had their chance to really get their views out there.
On the other hand the How to be a Man article was only one person's opinion and everyone likes to pick apart certain points and give their own opinion.
In this thread I think we are all just impressed by the interesting articles that were created....even if we don't agree with every single one.
P.S. Thanks Wise Turtle for the mention!
