Difference in the Sexes (Help Needed)

[dpa5923]

Sorry to do this, but Freepers have at their command more sources than any other group of people I know.

Recently a news magazine, I believe both Time and Newsweek, ran a story on the differences between the sexes. I am in the middle of a debate with a co-worker and need to reference that article.

Does anyone have a link or the date and publication the article appeared in?

I appreaciate any and all help on this one. I have attempted to search for it but to no avail.

Go to RushLimbaugh.com. This is one of the many articles he has written regarding the 1998(?) Time Magazine piece "Men and Women Are Different!" (or something like that)

In Time magazine there was a cover story a couple of years ago in which they made the stunning revelation that men and women are different. Imagine that folks! We scratched our heads here at EIB over that one - until we came across some info that disproves Gloria Steinem's absurd quote that "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."

Yes, professional women who "want it all" are repelling the men they're trying to attract. They want a career, but then they also want to be able to interrupt that career and have babies, and then go right back to where they were in the career, an option men have never had.

Maureen Dowd wrote a follow-up to the column in the New York Times in which she states, "Three decades after feminism blossomed in a giddy wave of bra-burning, birth-control pills and unisex clothes, the female ideal of having it all is a risible cliché.

Women moving up still strive to marry up. Men moving up still tend to marry down. The two sexes going in opposite directions has led to an epidemic of professional women missing out on husbands and kids. After urging guys not to be leery of high-achieving women, I was swamped with 600 e-mails."

600 e-mails swamp Maureen Dowd's account? Anyway, speaking of being swamped, the phone lines lit up like Vegas with callers wanting to weigh in on the subject, which you can hear in the Across the Fruited Plain page linked below.

On Monday we reported a fascinating story about how the Cornell University Republicans had to apologize for putting the word "feminazi" on a poster. We learned about the story from Fox News Channel, but apparently they had their schools mixed up and it was the Ithaca College Republicans and not Cornell University Republicans that had to issue the apology. Cornell is located in the town of Ithaca, so maybe that's where the confusion manifested. At any rate, the guy who called to correct us said that the Cornell University Republicans would never apologize to the left.

Maybe I can help with some facts, no opinion stated. Of the
Fortune 500 companies, 499 were started by men. In every
year of SAT scores and IQ tests, men scored significantly
higher..men own 100% of every major athletic records, and
in feminine fields, like cooking, interior design, clothing,
all are dominated by men.

Thanks to both of you.

Just for your info, the argument is about women in front line units and he claimed that their is no difference between the sexes, just upbringing.

When I argue with the liberals I argue based on facts and try to keep emotion out of the disscussion. They will ussually come up with some argument like this. If I don't have a source on hand to back my position up, I find the info as fast as I can and throw it back at them. It's super sweet when the source is some liberal rag like this. They can't argue against the source.

Again, thanks for your help.
