Respectfully, I disagree. Gender does matter and commands respect for differences intended to be appreciated and create a sum greater than the parts.
I, for one, believe this is the great work always intended for women. Our hearts always believe in the equation 1+1=3!
Salud, Elizabeth!

BRAVA, Christine! Right on!! We WOMEN bring our lived experiences to the table where, otherwise, our particular concerns arenāt seen in laws, policies, & funding (repro rights, maternal health, childcare, equal wages, VAWA issues, etc.). We are wrongly rendered invisible because āgender doesnāt matterā (ha!). Tired of women being shoehorned into The Toxic Male Paradigm into order to walk the halls of power. Also, how about the reverse idea to those who love to raise the exceptional negative woman (e.g., Palin) to claim gender is irrelevant ā Why should it matter (and it does matter in practice) that there should be men in power when weāve had male leaders like Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon, Pol Pot, Nixon, Putin, Trump, et al.? Look deeper at the person ā and know that male aggression & violence are real things to account for and not ignore. Why do most men get a pass on negativity when they reach for power but women do not (see, e.g., Hillary Clinton)? Why are men presumed leaders but not women, who need to continually knock down barriers? Tired of the āI look past genderā ā itās like the racist āAll Lives Matterā crap, as if all are treated equal (not!).
