I didn’t find too much to disagree with in your article but I don’t think you understand some of the reasons behind the hysteria.

p>I’m old enough to not care anymore that women and men think differently. I don’t get upset because of that because I’ve succeeded as an entrepreneur and I’m comfortable in my own skin. However, I do understand why many women are upset to think there is a difference. br> Being different used to mean being inferior, and many think it still does. In fact I believe most men still consider women inferior to them because they think differently. Political correctness isn’t going to change this. Honest acceptance of the differences by men about women and women about men would be a step forward. Many women think to be considered equal means superior and many men think the same way. Try to understand the background women come from. We were second class citizens for hundreds of years, and that means we were different than the first class citizens, men. Too many women are still fighting the old fight and so are some of the men. Being different has always meant inferior. /p> p>Ask any immigrant class that came to the U.S. Ask any black person. Instead of concentrating on the past we need to find a way forward (hopefully without liberal correctness which is phony to it core) where different is accepted as normal not inferior by men and women. br> — C.
