You seem to want to argue a point that I don't feel is to relevant. Everyone, including me has imagined a future where a particular kind of woman would rise to the top of the political pyramid. A Hillary, who has manipulated massive political machinery to be under her control... or a Codoleeza Rice who has demonstrated brilliance and accomplished great things in the rank and file. This aint what any of us had in mind is it. It is phenomenally different. Re-read this post I offered for your consideration: Message 24904698 Phenomenal events often to not validate our orientation to things. "The term came into its modern philosophical usage through Immanuel Kant, where it is contrasted with noumenon (for which Kant used the term "Ding an sich", or "thing-in-itself") or Absolute. Phenomenon and noumenon serve as interrelated technical terms in Kant's philosophy. Noumena, in contrast to phenomena, are not directly accessible to observation. Nowadays, "phenomena" are often, but not always, understood as 'appearances'. These are themselves sometimes understood as involving qualia." en.wikipedia.org
