Many, many people, both male and female use this type of thinking...Jesus used "thought-provoking" questioning, as did God in many encounters with the Old Testament personages.  Today, when you take a speech making class, one of the introduction techniques used is this type of questioning.  We all have the capability, but it has slowly lost it "flavor" over the years.  Too bad, for it is like the "Pearl of Great Price" spoken about in this weekend's Gospel.  :)
