through your dialog, and the very same consciousness that the woman's p.o.v. showed...an unspoken knowledge that women and children have of their status (great dialog, that part!) or a kind of self apart from (sometimes outside) the world of men that claims "men have names," the phrase which I was sure the story problem turns on in the Western ego sense of things.
Anyway, not to be all psychodrama about it...your flow was so watery smooth, the dialog was subtle fun, and moving everyone's -- the reader's and all the characters' -- growing awareness such that when the switch happened, I was delighted. The final line was what it was all about. I'm sure that the magazine's audience is one that will very much appreciate your story.
Your story made me wish for such people in the world.
