Get the smug look off the guys face. What kind of crap is this book anyway? Men don't listen? excuse me but don't we have 52% of the population as female, 65% of registered voters as female, a female supreme court justice, countless female judges, the military adviser to the president is a BLACK WOMAN, we had a female secretary of state, a female attorney general, females in the military, female cops, female fire fighters, female govenors, mayors, congresswomen, senators, the president of Playboy is a woman.... We have title 9 but only when it favors women. No female ballet dancers are cut to even up the men. We have the minute and a half law in california that if a man does not cease having sex with a woman who implies (not actually says) no its rape. We have affirmative action for women. We have a court system that favors women in child custody suits. We have a court system that accepts on the word of a mother that a father molested the kid. We have the reasonable woman's law concerning sexual harrassment and rape. We have little boys doing crap in schools with lower and lower test scores each year while girls self esteem are the only concern (Carol Gilligan's work). We will have nearly 65% of all college attendees be female by the year 2005 given the current rate of college enrollment. Plus nearly all of primetime TV and three cable networks (WE, Oxygen and Lifetime) are devoted to female programming and nearly 40% of all sports casters are now women. This is pretty damn fricken' good for men not listenning. Maybe with all this whining and complain men should just stop listenning. I'm all for that guy in the background 100%. Steinam blames white men for 9/11 and we men get stabbed in the back for nearly 40 years of bending over backwards for women and the book wonders why men don't listen. Geez. I hope more men stop listenning.
