I tend to agree with Richard.  There are differing points of view between
the tall and the short and between those who look up and those who
look down (as a matter of relative truth) but I fail to see how
there can be different male and female points of view, unless they
fall within the tall/short dichotomy.

Of course, as a matter of ultimate truth all points of view are empty
and in the blue sky there is no east or west.

As to whether Richard has, or wants, a concept of culture I will
leave to him to repond.
