Not too far away from <my> observations Wendy. I`m all male, I grant you,
but I do believe there was no sexism within the argument. Neil had the
"hots" for Sabine Meyer when he was 13. (I wonder if he still has?) But I
reckon that a lot of younger females at 13? voice their opinions just as
strongly as boys, in all matters.
Oh - - by the way - - how can you be a humble female when you have an
honours degree, are dealing with our future inheritance, (even if they are
little sods at times) are a clarinettist, and a music teacher. If you teach
in a school, you will no doubt be involved in teaching other subjects also.
I don`t have a degree, only two diplomas, I could NOT entertain teaching a
large class, and spend a good deal of my time "wasting" away in front of my
`puter.
You are invaluable. I`ll repeat that in caps. YOU ARE INVALUABLE.
I can`t stand mobile phones tho`.
Best,
Tony W.
P.S. Here`s another Christmas joke for the list.

What`s the difference between a boy snowman and a girl snowman? (I s`pose
that could be rephrased in a less sexist manner, but then it might start to
get a little difficult to understand, so I`ll leave it as it is.)

Does anyone fight over female musicians? Do they say Musician A is better
than Musician B until they are blue in the face, if those people are women?

I have noticed a lack of participation in this "debate" from the female
contributors to this list.

I believe excellent musicians with different characteristics can exist,
excelling in different ways, they don't have to be "better" than each other;
I think this is a polarised, narrow-minded, one-track and traditionally male
point of view, but then you can ignore me I suppose because I am female and
not an excellent clarinettist, just a humble music teacher.
