Utne : far out!

I rediscovered a favorite magazine : Utne / understanding the next Evolution...
The issue I bought(November 2005) had "Embrace your feminine" as cover story.Here's an excerpt:

Social analyst and ecopsychology pioneer Theodore Roszak says, "As women come more and more into their own, the qualities that we have long assumed were exclusively and stereotypically theirs will come to be more widely acknowledged. Institutions now grounded in harshly competitive market values will give more and more place to care, cooperation, and mutual aid. In the century to come, we can expect our cultural style to be steadily reshaped by the other half of the human race."
In fact, this reshaping has already begun. We find hope in all the ways women are stepping into leadership all over the world and in the men who are evolved enough to honor the feminine in themselves as well as in women.
