My life as a man

Dressed in drag, Norah Vincent visited strip clubs and dated women to find out what it means to be a man. She ended up in the loony bin.

    Unconscious sexism in the author

    Generally, it was a nice article, but why would any woman find a contradiction between being attorney general and wearing sexy lingerie?

    There is no contradiction between female power cum intellectual achievement and being sexy. In fact, smart is very sexy.

    And why wouldn't a brilliant, successful woman be interested in baking cookies. Has the author no hobbies? Has he never needed to relax his mind?

    Anyway, otherwise, I did enjoy the article, and I agree that the reviewed author is pretty confused about gender issues.
