how am i to recognize this type of discourse?
where did you read that mary daly "whined" about what was going on?
is this posting of yours intended to open up lines of communication? is it
about understanding? or caring?
i don't know how to react to this except to
draw my sword and parry your blows,
and that's not how i want to dialog
about anything.

i would suspect that many people who would like to learn all the scales
are denied that priviledge because they don't look, talk, or play music in
ways that have been approved of by those who make decisions about who gets
into music class.
