One sheet was a neatly typed pay scale. It counted men and women at each level, but their pay was based entirely on degrees held and years of experience. In that and other documents, there was rampant credentialism, but no sexism whatsoever.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-57640762600764416752012-09-19T20:58:45.406-07:002012-09-19T20:58:45.406-07:00Bob Wallace,

Returning to those grass hut communities is exactly where feminists want to take the world.

It was bringing men down because of envy. A pretty good job has been down.<br /><br />And what has happened after 40+ years? Kate Bolick, who since she can't find a man now thinks women should form communities of their own and raise babies together. That's a recipe for complete catastrophe.<br /><br />Men created civilization, not women. If women think the have it so bad they should live in a world without men.<br /><br />As Camile Paglia wrote, without men, women would still be living in grass huts. Trying, of course, to raises their children in common...and living a life that would be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16046202647270439670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-4145459928860578552012-09-16T22:13:45.158-07:002012-09-16T22:13:45.158-07:00The Internet has also made it possible for men to ... The Internet has also made it possible for men to look outside America and see the realities of non-feminist women and what life is really like behind the new 'Iron Curtain' that's become the US.<br /><br /> "As we all know, Anglo-American culture has a compulsive urge to pedestalize women---a function of its underlying puritanism. And this obsession extends to the Anglo-American media. In TV sitcoms, American women are invariably presented as nubile, friendly angels brimming over with sexual charm---a far cry from the obese, frigid, deranged harpies actually prowling the streets of America. However, as has already been pointed out, the emergence of social media circumvents the mainstream media's concerted 'reality blackout.'<br />---Rookh KshatriyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
