If your society can’t survive without a permanent second class of citizens maybe it deserves to be destroyed

You completely glossed over the other option I gave. Yet people that make obvious errors like this are making actual decisions about these things, and that’s where the trouble stems from.

"We badly need to raise our boys more like our girls" -- Gloria Steinem This is naive. Men's and women's brains do not process information in the same way: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sax-on-sex/202405/ai... Long story short; there is no similarity in how each gender's brains store and retrieve information

You're probably reading too much into it. There's nothing biological about men's disinclination to wash dishes or write a birthday card.

That reads like one of those commonly held tropes that are not true. Like "back in my day it was possible to raise a family, buy a house, two cars and a boat on one salary." When the reality for the majority was both parents worked.

In the metro I live in of >2 million I have come across numerous men and women with their shit together at home and numerous men and women who live like feral dogs despite appearing at work with their shit together.

Nothing against Steinem specifically but seems pretty clear the elders tend to view their past with rose colored glasses Imo the federal apparatus should be broken up and handed to states with a mandate to collaborate to avoid concentration of power

> Imo the federal apparatus should be broken up and handed to states with a mandate to collaborate to avoid concentration of power Is this generated by an LLM putting together random popular talking points without regard to whether they make sense together? What would it mean for the CIA to be handed to the states with a mandate to collaborate?

"CIA? What's that? Sounds like some populist gibberish that makes no sense." -- An American in 1900.

You had it all figured out in your other reply to me. Will leave it as an exercise to your clearly brilliant mind.

it really isn't - it's well-documented: https://uscpublicdiplomacy.org/blog/feminist-was-spy "While popularly pilloried because of her paymaster, Steinem defended the CIA relationship, saying: “In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.” Less cloak-and-dagger and more a young, energetic, global representative for American values and freedom" was part…

That is the internet being internet. But adding a putdown on top just gets us further stuck in failure mode. It would be better to contribute something substantive about Steinem. Obviously there is much to discuss there.

What kind of criticism is this? Is it now HN policy to micromanage every perspective?

HN "policy" is to encourage curious conversation. Same as it ever was.
