That's a good article, and in fact my mother has expressed she has been thinking those things for some years now (not a convinced feminist, one might gather! ).

I only disagree with one thing:
Women are emotionally unstable... They cry, complain, throw objects and do emotional blackmail, and find it normal. I don't agree with that ..... maybe I just disagree with it because I am a woman but I am not like that? I can honestly say that I am a very emotionally stable person, and I know a lot of women who I can't say I've noticed any tendency towards instability... if I think about it, I know about equal number of men and women who are what you might call 'emotionally unstable'... it doesn't seem to be the tendency of either gender more than the other, but rather individuals and their circumstances.

Personally I find crying, throwing things and emotional blackmail to be unacceptable behaviour and I wonder who would think otherwise. (I don't mean crying in private of course. In any case I accept to be a bit 'masculine' in this aspect but in the context I was understanding it as meaning to cry in an argument to try and get your own way.) Surely if a woman does these things, isn't it childish? I wouldn't say that's acceptable behaviour for a woman any more than a man.

But other than that, I agree with a lot of what the article says. Men have had a rough deal for a while.
