This was an excellent review. I so appreciate Andrew Leonard's discussing gender issues this carefully. He delineates the fuzzy space between assumptions and realities of gendered living. He asks hard questions of Norah Vincent and of his audience, without ever stereotyping, condescending or going for easy answers. In so doing, he assumes his audience to be intelligent, willing to suspend our own assumptions and to entertain ambiguities. He neither rehashes simplistic media flappage about "gender wars" nor does he address an overly-specific audience in an overly confessional or combative tone.
In short, Mr. Leonard in one article manages what Broadsheet and nearly all of Salon's gender-focused feature articles for the past several months have continuously fail to accomplish.
