Well, I read it, and I think he does have a few valid points.

I orginally thought the word to describe the piece was chauvanistic, but according to Wester's online, that means feeling that one gender is superior over the other, and I'm not sure that's what he's saying. I think Kim is saying that the sexes are DIFFERENT, and that's the way he thinks it should be.

One of the statements I disagree with is:
Quote:
What I care about is the fact that since the beginning of the twentieth century, there has been a concerted campaign to denigrate men, to reduce them to figures of fun, and to render them impotent, figuratively speaking.
Please. Just because women wanted to be treated equally in the workplace and in politics and in education doesn't mean women are out to emasculate men. Statements like the above quote take away from the valid points in his diatribe and leave a foul taste for the rest of the piece.
