Hmmm...I donno.

Maybe the men were too busy and the women had more free time because all the men were out taking care of business and the women were all sitting around the house watching soap operas and eating bonbons and they didn't have anything better to do.

lol

Sorry. Just kidding, of course.

Beats me. What's your theory on it, Cecil?

I loved this jam
thank you all

Cecil
Why didn't you play?

Just a rhetorical question
I won't be waiting for an answer.

I noticed that the only male artist that participated was jimboloco
I once complicated jimbo on his art work
and he said it aint my work it is my Play
I love you jimboloco
I love your art.
I love your night mare(s)

I saw a cartoon of The Thinker many years ago.
It had a thought bubble over his head that said.
"Where the hell is my laundry?"

thank you Doreen, this was really fun and stimulating.

Since m-t-mynd posed the question...why didn't more men play? i'd like to give it a thought without appearing sexist or what most women get accused of and that is being 'bitchy'. (i have no problem with that term as you may know.)

my theory is...and i would like to approach this from an anthropological, tribal view...that woman are not afraid as men of putting themselves up for judgment in their output, even creative output. (after all we are judged all the time whether it be our appearance, our brain power or lack thereof, our ability to cope or not, etc.) Men typically (i use that word loosely) are not used to being under the microscope and the male ego, in my experience is an extremely fragile bird, subject to inflation and deflation willy nilly (you get my drift...)

and where am i going with this? just that the Im. Jam not only was about that four letter word, LOVE (and in many men's mind something you never admit unless you are talking about an inanimate object or perhaps your dog.) Women on the other hand have no problem with this issue (i am generalizing so bear with me.)

so to sum up my theory the jam raised the possibility of placing men in the position of admitting they loved someone and then they had to create something on the spur that would be out there for all to see...see? i am not a painter or particularly good at drawing but i don't mind being or appearing ridiculous...a lot of men would hate to appear a fool.

Or there is the possibility that they might of figured it was all too silly and not worthy of participation...there is that thought...

any arguments to my theory are welcome. would love to hear a different point of view, especially from those men that didn't participate or did so just on the periphery.
