Nonviolence: Does Gender Matter?In this article Carol Flinders argues that gender analysis can give us a fresh and deeper understanding of nonviolence. She cites for instance research findings that human beings' normal response to danger of 'fight or flight' is a more typical response of men; women are more naturally inclined to 'tend and befriend'. This doesn't make women any 'better' at nonviolence, it just shows one way of how we, women and men, have been conditioned by our environments to come at nonviolence differently. A short article, an interesting read with some bright big ideas, do take a look! Document archived here.
