A feminist talking about innate brain differences...Hmmmm...What is the hidden agenda here?

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, but I am thinking there is a hidden agenda. There has been a lot of publicity about boys falling behind on every level in school and even in the public sphere--thanks in large part to the unfair advantages given to girls in education today. Now, when there are efforts to improve training of boys in education, Wolf is suddenly saying, "Well, they're just wired that way." How convenient.

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.

[ntnychik]

Well, this would explain a lot!

This is way cool. Thanks for the post.

Awesome! Single women take notes. Those were the days. It was a man’s world. Now for the American male, it’s HELL on Earth. Former Communist Party recruiter Betty Friedan succeeded far beyond her dreams!

[Luke21]

I never heard of that crappy record, but I did see them singing on TV. I graduated high school in 1976. Marlo Thomas was involved all right, and they sang this stupid little song on TV that said “It’s all right for a boy to have a doll.” We all laughed ourselves silly.

We never imagined these people would be our rulers. Once McGovern got slaughtered we thought we were done with them.

ping for later read...

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?

[Bryanw92]

The author probably realizes that if Obama is successful, there will be shortages of everything and the only work will be traditional “manly” jobs, and she’s looking at the liberal girly-men and realizing that they’re going to starve.

So, now she’s trying to convince the liberal males to man-up because she knows that men that can exist in a “traditional male heirarchy” will succeed no matter how bad it gets while the metrosexuals will die complaining about their nails.

[Talisker]

Good theory. But my problem with it is that there isn’t any time for such an about-face in liberal men. They’re gone - they gave in long ago, in their adult development, and now they’re pretty incapable of changing even if they wanted to - and they don’t want to. A feminist might see the danger coming, because a feminist is about nothing but power (idiot liberal codependent women never get this little point). But a liberal man is a traitor to his own integrity, and lives each day selling out his self-worth to scathing female hate.

Well, we’ll see. Something is definitely up when a feminist rat starts backpeddling down the hawser...

[Bryanw92]

I agree. You can’t reverse a lifetime of psychological neutering, but that’s all she’s got. There aren’t enough real men to go around anymore, and they’re all taken by real women.

Her next article will probably declare that since there is a shortage of men with “man skills”, Obama should make them the property of the collective.
