I wish there were more women who actively take part in these type of discussionstoo, but I would not let that absense cast doubts about their importance! 99% of the people I know, male and female, are not involved in matters of philosphical thought and yet they have earned my respect over the time. I personally may not respect their rare philosophical comments (because I dismiss them quicly), but yet I consider the people important in their own way.
I guess the question is `what is importance?'. I think importance is nothing other than Quality. So when we say that someone does not have importance, we are essentially saying `Quality does not have this person'. :)
BTW, I also doubt the value of the static patterns of fatherhood or even marriage.
