NORTH AMERICANS of my generation grew up with the 1970s children’s record...

Intellectual dishonesty and revisionism right out of the gate, supposedly aimed at the latest generation who wasn't there in the '70's. I never had one of those records, and know of none who did. Never even heard of the record, and wasn't "free to be" a Marlo Thomas thing anyway?

 

I do remember seeing pictures of Grier knitting, for what it's worth.

Men are just deeper thinkers.

Take this picture for instance, many women will simply pass over it while men generally will give some thought to the picture and try to analyze it and perhaps even meditate for a few moments about the person that is the subject of the photo image, some men will even go so far as to try and imagine what interaction with this person would be like.

Interesting article. Hard to believe it was written by Naomi Wolfe. James Dobson and others have been talking about these specific issues and research findings for years and have taken nothing but flack from feminists in the process. So, is this progress?? Maybe Naomi was just having a bad day.

Maybe it's because Obambi is president. Recall that when Bill Clinton sexually used (and abused) women, feminists suddenly decided that such behavior wasn't so bad after all. Now that Obambi is building a hierarchical dictatorship with himself on top, hierarchies aren't so bad after all.

Naomi Wolf figuring out that she and her castrati manservant Algore are actually different. Re-discovering the wheel that was well known generations ago.

This is an astonishing article. The lack of sneering contempt for men, the acknowledgement that men may - just may - have some sort of value, the exploration of men's behavior without apparent intent to demean... the general air of something that actually approaches respect...

What the hell is going on?

Funny, if women had constructed these things, there would be a national "Women in Construction/Engineering Week". As such. men built all of these things, so it is insignificant. A few examples.

Since men invented everything useful in civilization could they a least acknowledge that?

...many educators have begun to argue that such intervention in what may be a hardwired aspect of "boy-ness" can lead to boys' academic underperformance relative to girls, and to more frequent diagnoses of behavioural problems, attention deficit disorder, and so on.
IOW, now having a Y chromosome will be reclassified as a disorder; but at least it may be protected under the ADA.

Michelle Obama will succeed her husband (or try at least).
