1-Roberts Rules of Order is your friend. Institute it especially for pre-vote debate and hopefully some of the problems will dissipate.
2-Women too often will avoid debate/conflict/disagreement to their detriment. This is part of the reason why I dont like slates; it keeps the members from having a thorough and healthy discussion of the issues, and maybe more importantly teaching them to understand that everyone doesnt agree with you all the time.
3-I want more women to campaign and win elective office. Learning how to sway people to your side (or standing up to opposition) is part of that learning process. Use it now to make my world a better place. Cool?
