Rambi, res- <<My point is that I hate to see you make fun of women on this issue when it's a malaise that affects both sexes. I have no urge to ridicule a man for using Rogaine or a toupée, for working out at the gym, for doing whatever he can to stay competitive. >>

I'm not exactly sure why you felt posting, what I thought was an interesting article, equates to making fun of women. So I am not sure where to go with this response.

You appear not to have liked the article. Ok, I thought it was a refreshingly different look at a complex issue. Does it give you all the pieces of complexity necessary for a full comprehension of the issue. No, I don't believe it does. But I do believe it brings forth some interesting ideas regarding the path the country has been on regarding womens roles in our society for the last 40 years or so.

I disagree that the pressure on men to be HOT HOT HOT is equal to the pressure on women today. Anorexia, Bolemia and a host of other eating disorders predominate in the female population. And I believe there is a reason for that. I also wonder whether women weren't better off in the years past when our culture didn't stick a half naked, nearly anorexic, female in our face at every flick of the television remote.

I thought the article highlighted that concern in a thought provoking way. And it was written by a women.
