Title: 'Power' is not about resources; it's about sex.
'Power' is assumed to be about resources, exercised by men over women as well as by men over other men. But this misunderstands the biology of dominance, which is same-sex, serving not to apportion resources more efficiently by minimising conflict, but to create competition so as to apportion reproduction. To understand society, our conception of 'power' needs radical revision.
Steve Moxon is a freelance author/researcher across science regarding men-women and the sexes. He has published a provocatively titled book, ‘The Woman Racket: The new science explaining how the sexes relate at work, at play and in society –

So quite a bit of planning. We got to think smart about how this can be resourced. In theory I am putting this on to my teaching hours – ie 2 per month, but as you know…

I will send you this PM proposal for funding a conference as part of falriverfest – the amount is 1500 which can only cover disbursements – not time. Management time will be paid out of delegate fee and commercial sponsorship. The spend will be on a good digi projector for permanent installation in the Poly theatre and perhaps a heavy duty router to wi fi the Poly with wall terminals for www access. Any other ideas for the spend? We can build into the conference a demo of seine netting – ie to resource getting a bigger net. Trudy? Microscopes? Enhanced website? Software for Jason’s publications? Can I place my order for Adobe InDesign?? - £182 with educational pricing.

Sasha, have not discussed this yet with you, guess on the agenda for the new Gen Manager. Briefly, idea is to run a conference as part of the falriverfest in May titled “Livings from the Sea” at Poly under CafĂ© Sci brand. Cornwall College has £1500 to spend, and I have verbal indication of fiscal support from the local AONB.
