Quote: I have never understood the feminist insistence on absolute equality, even in light of obvious differences. I think that it sets the feminist cause back quite a bit, in fact, because it makes the originators look unintelligent.
I agree with this. In fact, I think women are frequently put at an artificial disadvantage in our culture for this reason. For instance, I was a math major in college. It was crystal clear to me that there was a monthly fluctuation in my math skills. Though as I recall, I did some of my best work when I was breastfeeding. Also, I felt like I had to translate a lot of math concepts from "left-brain" to "right-brain" and back again in order to "get " them. Of course there are women who are more "left-brainy" and many of them were in math classes with me but they generally gave off a somewhat odd Janet Reno type vibe. Hmmm...maybe that's what my H meant when he said I was too nerdy to be sexy-LOL.
