There is some interesting commentary here. And, when you participate, they will send you the results if requested. Surely, they would welcome your participation. My Best, Roberta A listing on The Drum Beat: PULSE POLL Development institutions rely on gender stereotypes rather than foster resistance to them. [For context, please see http://www.comminit.com/drum_beat_273.html] Do you agree or disagree?

It seeems to me, and others may dispute this, that women form a caste (Ogbu term). Evidence? Women earn I think it is 77cents/dollar for what men earn--comparable jobs. It's not education--I think there are higher rates of female graduation from both high school and college. So I am tossing in "caste" as a possible descriptor of women's position. What do you think? > >Thanks. > >Andrea > >
