actually I also noticed that the men seem far lovelier than the women in England. That was interesting. Also, I remember saying something about how uglier people should stick to their own leagues and the guy said “you Americans are so superficial – personality is more important over here”.
Maybe next you can write about all the overentitled men who seem to think they ought to be with gorgeous women when he is a 5 with very little going for him. And then act like bitter PMSing betties who try to objectify women as “things to pull” and use because women don’t respond favorably. Now that’s a large group of sad men right there. Those…what are they called…pick up artist types.
I’m not sure I agree.
1. I didn’t feel the article was trying to do much more than scream “hey you losers who need stupid partners to feel better about yourselves…listen here”. It’s hardly got any breadth or real analysis.
2. I think there is a pretty vague understanding about whether this is actual wiring when it comes to masculinity needing to feel superior to the female partner. Some of what you might be referring to as basic brain wiring is more likely being wired before the age of 5 – by which time girls are already wanting to wear little mock wedding dresses and being frequently asked what kind of boy she’ll marry.
you’re a sharp cookie. but you’re onto something which goes much much deeper. Men are the default for everything…their weaknesses, their strengths, their struggles are looked upon with dignity and depth…often spun any which way they like. Most often woman’s achievements, weaknesses, struggles are seen as intrinsic to her gender…her feebleness. Gloria Steinem’s essay “If Men Could Menstruate” captures this concept perfectly.
I think it’s unfair to attack the author for not reaching this level of depth in the struggle for equal respect of the genders. I try to view each small “pro-female” attempt as gracious, given all the people out there who resent and hate women. While you’re technically far more correct…it’s not a method of shifting the nation to our side. They just don’t quite get it yet. Not even the women do.

huh?
I always make a fort with the blankets. #6, 7, 12 might get you arrested.
the backhanded variety.

wtf are you on about? I’m almost singularly attracted to younger men.
Personally, I think the pee was a class act. Very cool that it didn’t turn awkward or anything.
