Thanks so much for your thoughtful response. I don’t really want men to feel like they’re off the hook (“we just can’t do it”). I do feel men are just as capable of empathy, listening and telling universal stories (including history) through particular ones.

But maybe it’s just women that are willing to be the pioneers in this area. I don’t have it pinned down either, just something I’ve been thinking about lately. (I wrote an article on women blogger’s artistic gifts hinting at empathy and listening too: http://www.newcommblogzine.com/?p=37 )

I’m reading “The New New Journalism” by Robert Boynton now and most of the interviewees are men. Some even call what they do “the journalism of empathy.”

Again, thanks for the reply and even more books to dig into…..
