<<Lakoff believes that the culture war is a battle between the Ewig Weiblich and the Ewig Herrlich—the Nurturing Parent metaphor and the Stern Father model.>> Yes, I have been testing that theory for some months now and have used that framework many times of late in my posts. It makes a lot of sense to me. Whether it will hold up to testing, I'm not sure, but it's doing a pretty good job so far. If it's valid, it would certainly be a more useful way of framing things than religious or geographic. Personally, I identify with aspects of each. I'd love to see someone develop an instrument along the lines of Myers-Briggs to analyze this.
