I'm definitely not implying that females are in any way intellectually
inferior to men, and I don't claim to know if any differences in
interests and aptitudes are caused by nature or nurture. It's
undeniable that for whatever reasons, females and males tend to
gravitate toward different areas of study. (Thank God I'm not the
president of Harvard... this is verboten discussion...)
ANYWAY, I'm surprised, and almost offended, that the feminist
organizations haven't raised more hell about what girls are exposed to
in their popular magazines. Maybe oppression by all males is just an
easier, more satisfying target.
