Should Women Rule?

Posted by Bernard Chapin On June - 20 - 2008

I just slammed Dee Dee Myers’ horrendous new book, Why Women Should Rule the World, in an episode of Chapin’s Inferno. I hope my thrashing was sufficient. If not, as always, I’ll respond to counter-arguments.

 

We can sum up the poverty of Ms. Myers’s propositions with her take on the support Hillary received in New Hampshire after she crying on camera: “As voters watched it for themselves, women in particular seemed to conclude that her emotion was real—and that it was appropriate. Moreover, they felt her pain, and they decided to help end it. The following day, women flocked to the polls.”

 

They felt her pain…so they voted for her? What kind of defective troglodyte does something like that? There’s a term for a person whose political views are contingent on their emotions and its “self-absorbed freak.” It isn’t all about you: read and study. People like that should never be in charge of anything.
