IT’S IN THE MALE

C’mon, Margo. Sexism is sexism no matter who portrays it, as you so cleverly do with the consult of Duke, Doug and other sensitive, now-generation males. It’s the half-smirking attitude of women such as yourself that perpetuates the picture of the bumbling father who can’t change his baby’s diaper, the adorably incompetent college lad who can’t figure out which wash-day product to use and, of course, the male who is always rescued at the last minute from household disasters by the “all-knowing woman” created by the Madison Avenue gang.

I dare say that if an article written by a man depicting the commonly held myths and notions about women appeared that the hue and cry from womens’ groups in conjunction with their sensitive “I’m ashamed to be a male” men friends would be heard ‘round the world.
