There may be a backlash, but it sure ain't against educated white women in America
Girls, ladies--ya'll have it good.
I see no backlash against women--I see a hard return to the traditional gender role for men as masculine, impulsive, assertive, strong and violent.
And I see the range of options for women continue to widen--the masculinzed Hilary, the ultra feminine but "empowered" girls in heels, the leveling of the sexual playing field (whatever that means!), the proud 'One D at a time girls', the "proud stay at home Mommy" and the increase of women in all sorts of power positions from pundits to government players, and the return of the traditional date where the guy pays for everything. Which I like! Going dutch was like an foreshadowing of overthought-sex.
Honestly, I think it's pretty good. I remember things being pretty PC and rigid for women in the 1990s--and they got offended when I tried to pay for dinner. Frankly I see gender role options much more limited for men now. You're a John Wayne protege or you're not only weak, but the time you're taking to weigh consequences will let the terrorists get the drop on U.S.
