Jackie Fenton said >>I just received a copy myself and have been reading it. Kuddos to Alan Wilson. I think it's an exceptionally well-done, informative issue and reflects the thoughts, experiences and feelings of a good many female paddlers. Sorry, Doug, but I haven't seen what I would consider a "fair bit of male bashing" in this issue. What articles made you feel that way? What I have read so far have been honest reactions from women about specific situations and what sea kayaking means to them and have enjoyed, so far, the special issue. My paddling cap is off the Alan and those that contributed.>> Jackie, et al: After I posted the original message, I actually read through the whole issue of wavelength, rather than the cursory glance I had given it the first time. After my posting (post post?) I didn't see any response show up on PW, so I figured no one was interested in the subject/topic, otherwise I would have gone back and recanted what I said. Sorry, it is a good magazine issue, for sure. Once I read the comments/articles in a little more context, and realized some of the stuff was lighthearted (and where it wasn't, it was honest experiences), it all made sense. I still maintain, however, that in an ideal world, gender shouldn't be an issue for kayaking. Unfortunately, much of the male population makes that rather difficult. I could go on, but I don't think it is much of an issue with most gender-neutral paddlewisers (except Jed <G>)..
