Just one of many flaws with the reasoning and, indeed, the whole argument that feminism or women's lib is the root of all problems. I do, however, agree with the author on one point: "Roissy’s blog is an unflinching look at female nature at its very worst: the acquisitiveness, the narcissism, the self-absorption, the selfishness, the superficiality, the brainlessness, the wayward lust as powerful as any man’s." I'd expand, that, however, to include men. I'm not throwing stones here – everyone has their failings – but modern American society celebrates hedonism, and hedonism was, according to some, the downfall of Rome. Just sayin'.
