"Such generalisations never apply to an individual, of course... any one woman might be brilliant.

Similarly, while women tend in general to be less aggressive and more conciliatory, there are plenty of ferocious females and Wodehouse aunts, and plenty of men who are shrinking violets – with obvious implications for their working lives.

I thought it would be worth reemphasizing these lines from the article before everyone starts trying to contradict it with anecdotal evidence.

No need. I always read the article before posting. The author deserves credit for including those lines. My problem is with people (often FReepers) who make generalizations about the sexes without saying anything about individualism.

My comment was simply to make the point that (conservative) feminists can have a sense of humor - and even (gasp) use self-depreciating humor.
