The discourse on this board is always smart, but this thread, today, is brilliant.

To expand on that (or maybe reiterate it), society expects men to be HD and permits women to be LD. So it's easier for an LD woman to admit she is LD, but harder for an LD man to admit that he is LD. She is admitting something socially acceptable (even expected); he is admitting something embarrassing, something that makes him seem less of a man.
