Power Women: Like most of the blogosphere, I read last Sunday's Maureen Dowd anti-man polemic, but didn't blog about because it left me with such a bad feeling I didn't want to address it. I couldn't put my finger on what it was that bothered me so much, but it kept floating up to my conscience throughout the week. Why should I care whether or not Maureen Dowd finds conjugal happiness? But now I know what it is that was so irksome about the whole thing - Maureen Dowd, and women like her who blame their success on their failure with men, simply don't consider men their equals. And for any relationship to work, the two people have to share a mutual respect. As Dr. Helen notes:

The truth is, most men like women who like men (except for some psychological cripples). I am opinionated, have a PHD and (hopefully), a decent IQ. I rarely meet a man who minds this. Why? Because I like men, enjoy their company and treat them as fellow human beings. These are the ingredients that many of these 'feminist' women are missing in their interactions with men. They believe that because they are women, they can get away with saying anything and others should think they are enlightened, instead of just bullies or jerks. That's what they think men are--and that is why they will remain dateless.
