Read the Wolff "immodest proposal"
I think it is a joke, although the joke runs out after about a page.
But if you assume it isn't a joke, then it is a pathetic revelation of the author's insecurities. Obama at 46 is young and not middle aged? Fred Thompson is middle aged at 65? How old is Wolff that he has to shift things around this way? I'm guessing he's a lot closer to Thompson than Obama. Dude, bad news: Obama's middle aged, Thomspson's old. Deal with it.
Or how about this one:
"The argument pits empowered soccer moms against guilty dads, a prosecutorial matriarchy against a nolo contendere patriarchy."
Oh, right. "Soccer mom" is usually synonymous with power.
In general, if this guy is serious, it's another of these great cross-legged articles that accuse the killjoy women of having all the power. Because if you look around at our government you see that women have taken over the Congress, the Courts, the White House, the corporations... nevermind. We're still in charge and ruining all the fun. While watching soccer.
