"By Tucker Max and Geoffrey Miller"
At the risk of getting piled-on here, I'll say this: the last thing the world needs is another dude speaking for women.
- kafkaesq 11y agoOne of the first thing the world needs is to get past the idea that when someone speaks about sensitive issues facing group X, that they're automatically attempting to speak "for", or "on behalf of" group X. And that the import of what they're saying can be weighed (and/or dismissed outright), accordingly. The issues addressed in the article are complex, and sadly, quite pervasive; we could benefit from multiple perspectives, in seeking ways to address them.
- vlehto 11y agoMan genuinely speaking for women would be OK in my books. But this "Listen up dudes, you don't understand women. We do!" I'd rather pick someone transgender to tell me about it. Or read books written by different women. Or have women as friends. ...and when it's Tucker Max, my first suspicion is that he's trying to get laid more.
