The masculine vs. feminine styles described might more appropriately be called conservative vs. liberal.
It also ignores the fact that there is just as much competitiveness and pecking order stuff going on in the feminine-style groups as in the masculine-style ones, the only difference being that the ladies cover it up more effectively.
That is a very good point! Although I must say that I wouldn’t take a personal attack in a debate as well as my husband would.
Ann Coulter makes that point repeatedly in Treason and has a lot to say in her conclusions about the corrosiveness of movement feminism.
I once read a magazine article about women golfers years ago -- 40 years ago, I think it was.
The article said, and it claimed that it could back up what it said with observation, that women golfers always cheat, every chance they get.
It concluded, or observed, that women lack an ideal of sportsmanship (or they did, in the 60's) and of play for the sake of the game, and they take it all personally and play for keeps. Hence the cheating.
