"I have noticed that as soon as you have soldiers the story is called history. Before their arrival it is called myth, folktale, legend, fairy tale, oral poetry, ethnography. After the soldiers arrive, it is called history."
-- Paula Gunn Allen, a Native American poet, literary critic, activist and novelist. (Born in 1939)
"When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country.”
-- Elayne Boosler, an American comedian
Oh! Say it isn't so!
Is there a connection between how men and women are trained to deal with conflict and emotion (depression, saddness, hopelessness, fear, anger etc.) and the bigger picture of humans doing their dance (living) through the ages?
