Hi MaryJane,
Your report on the panel of African women jurists got me thinking.
When I look up three phrases together on google, I get 92 hits: "good ol boy network" "gender equality" "rule of law". It is something of a puzzle to me. The good ol boy network is a form of solidarity among men and gets my respect on that score, but the rule of law is what is needed to promote gender equality.
I am expecting our Gender Crosstalk will build a new kind of solidarity among men within a framework of gender equality that also strengthens solidarity among women and engenders (;-) an overall sense of heartfelt human unity that respects diversity. This would amount to a welcome rewrite of the social contract.
I hope a lot more men will join us here and write a message to be sent to the the Exec Director of UN Women.
