This is really an Alpha Game subject and I generally prefer to keep such things separate, but the concept has sufficiently broad implications that I thought it might be worth mentioning over here:
Think about the amount of discernment that is required for work in a
caring or nurturing capacity. Discernment is actually a negative; the
good doctor is not influenced by the personal merits of the person he is
treating. The good mother does not shower love and attention upon the
duly obedient child and withhold it from the unruly and disobedient one.
The feminine perspective, insofar as it is formed by maternal
responsibilities and nurturing instincts, is therefore intrinsically
anti-discernment.
