When I saw this link mentioned during an argument on #ramenjunkie
(irc.esper.net KTHX) about whether or not men are better on average
than women at being productive in society, I thought, "Oh no, not
another guy who thinks that women should not be allowed outside of the
kitchen because of God's will."  And it is that, in part.  But mostly,
it contains well-reasoned arguments as to how women are emotion-based
and thus are not suited for things requiring reason; not nearly the
"extreme Jack Chick tract" that the website that posted it said that
it was.

The only parts in it that are really goofy (and do make it a bit
comparable to Jack Chick) are those that make it clear that, despite
his touting of men's reason, logic, and repeatable empirical evidence
over women's emotion, intuition, and anecdote, the man believes in
God.  And not just any god, but the _Christian_ God put forth in the
Bible.  (Consequently and unfortunately, this makes the last part of
the essay, Tangent V, self-contradictory and incoherent.)  All in all,
though, it's an interesting exposition of an opinion found rarely in
these times.

because Atma's just too damn attractive to get away from.

Gave 7499 Netstalker Points to Cypher because there's no such thing as
a good day on AGFF without JT bashing!

'writerly' part of my mind was engaged when talking to women.

Other than the religion parts, this article is 100% correct.
