Well at 5:23 it looks like there is a woman. And on a side note, there are a lot of women that work in construction and on the roads. At least in the South, there is at least one per every 100 men.
And after reading the article, I think this woman that posted a response sums it up nicely by saying :
"You know, I'm not a feminist. Not.At.All.
However, so many parts of this essay are so crazy that I have a really hard time comprehending the mindset of the author.
First of all, I would love to know where your statistics come from in regards to which partner in a marriage initiates divorce. Secondly, I would love to know what the main reason for initiating divorce is.
I would agree that there are mean wives just as there are mean husbands, but I would like to know how many women are injuring their spouses as compared to men injuring their spouses.
I think my main disagreement with your essay is that you seem to believe that mankind is unable to rise above his animal ancestors. Your arguments appear to indicate that you believe that men are too weak to keep vows and other promises - I believe that humankind can transcend our animal ancestors, and that Western Civilization is the best proof of that.
I really disagree with your suggestion that women are happier in a strongly patriarchal society - that brings to my mind societies like the Taliban, in fact, any Islamic society - where women are forbidden to do much of anything. That is much more like slavery than Western Civilization.
I have a lot of other questions about your essay. I believe it is fundamentally incorrect. However, I have to go tend to the farm animals and get dinner started.
If I have time later tonight or tomorrow, I shall "Fisk" your essay point by point.
Only I will use verifiable statistics and fact, not just conjecture or game theory.
Anthropology, psychology and sociology are all soft sciences, and are all quite subjective.
I want facts, scientific facts, to back up your theories. I'm not seeing them in your links.
