To be brutally frank, I'm surprised an article on gender issues of this calibur came from Salon. Maybe the bar has been lowered by the cliched "you go grrrrrrrl" drivel in Broadsheet (which 90% of the time celebrates women's empowerment at the expense of men, if it even dares to tackle any real gender issues at all).
Written with understanding and insight that defies the typical 'FOUR LEGS GOOD! TWO LEGS BAD!' bullshit that political writers today feel compelled to put in EVERY freaking article that they write. In this case, it is the WOMEN GOOD! MEN BAD! convention of the American Left that is defied, and it is very welcome.
Thanks for the excellent review, Mr. O'Hehir.
