A Harvard prof thinks chicks need to be educated about manliness.
  • I hope no one

    including Prof. Mansfield confuses "manliness" with masculinity or maleness. Mansfield's manly men exult in times of war (so countless battlefield generals weren't "manly"), but men like Jesus, Buddha and Ghandi did not. Our poets, writers, painters, mathmeticians, scientists, philosophers and spiritual leaders have always been men. Damn few of them conform to Mansfield's "manliness."
