Council
There's knowing in the official context, and there's knowing and being able to quietly guide from the side because of the knowing. If we've got women who understand it, they'll be better able to do the latter - keeping in mind that we're dealing with a society that operates within strict gender binaries.
Needless to say things are a bit different where I'm from as well, but the galaxy's pretty vast and there are different local customs even there.
This sounds good. I'm thinking we could meet over dinner tonight and make some more specific plans perhaps.
