Reply #104: I've only read some of her drivel...

to me it's much like attempting to read "Mein Kampf." It's a rambling diatribe.

The one thing I do remember about her work was the attempt to foment hate between the sexes, as in "all sex with men is rape" etc... Not very healthy IMO. I realize she was late in the game, but did think she was a first-waver. I'll have to dig around to find out who the first-wavers really were.

Some gender differences are cultural, some are not. I say this based on my experiences, as well as some of the info related to me by professional female athletes who have experimented on themselves and came away with interesting conclusions.

And if one wants to use the example of global culture, surely most people would agree that in order to understand each other, people must have an understanding of the differences to find some common ground. A Western European won't have the same sensibilities as another from Pakistan or Japan. I don't think that poster Paulsby was insinuating that ALL differences are biological, but they shouldn't be ignored altogether. Who wants to be one big homogenous society anyway.
