I may have been the ugy duckling in the group but it was an exhilarating discussion all the same. All very mutually supportive. Four Syrian ladies and myself expressing why each was special and what were our hopes and dreams for the future. Lot's of excitment and shared joy - not masculine at all. No attempt to solve a problem or prove themselves right. More appreciating the value of the process than seeking a conclusion.
As the evening wore on some joking acknowledgement was given to the value of men in the world which enabled me to leave and revert to type once more.
So on to the next meeting of four men discussing systems of government and worldwide issues - Syrian men like to address the big questions. It occurred to me that maybe their views could be positively influence by awareness of the previous discussion
