FYI..
Dowd's recounting of the M/F wars is FemiNazi fallout (self-satisfied smirk).
Traditional women ----who reject FemiNazism in all its failures and foibles ----want strong men in their lives. We know that men like to be cosseted, and loved, and fed well. And if we do that, our men let us rule the roost. The men get what they want. We get what we want. Not so hard to figure out, is it?
OMG, what did I just say? (running for the hills)
