Editor:
I found myself laughing after reading Eric Vogeler’s moronic and verifiably insane piece on men and women (“Anything a guy can do, a girl can do better,” Jan. 31). He does no credit to himself by praising females as superior; anyone with active hormones can see this as a ploy to appear understanding and sensitive, which is, I must admit, a pathetic (dare I say feminine?) mating strategy used in the most inept of circumstances. Either that or a woman in a leather bondage suit cornered him in the newsroom and commenced brutally disciplining him with a whip until he typed the very words in his article.
Vogeler, I am intrigued by your misled belief that this world would be a better place if women were suddenly “in charge.” Do you know any women personally? They smile when they are upset, they cry when they are happy, they say no when they mean yes and they say yes when they mean no. How would that make the world better? People would just become more confused.
Furthermore, males have unique abilities, such as the ability to discuss things rationally, drive vehicles, run businesses and comprehend math and science. Without these abilities in our upper leadership, our society could not function properly.
I’m also sorry that you haven’t figured out the female mind yet, or as you refer to it, a “Rubik’s cube.” Well, I figured it out years ago when I just stripped off all the colored square stickers; I realized that they’re all just cubes of plastic. Those different colors are just put on the surface to make it appear “unique” and “special.”
I’ll admit, the male mind is just as simple. Essentially, we want sex, food, sleep and sex-that’s about it. Women want similar things, but they are much more subtle and underhanded in obtaining them because they’re afraid of being seen as slutty or piggish. Oh please, they’re not fooling anyone. Well, except maybe Eric Vogeler.
I would appreciate it if you would cease spreading your own stupidity and keep your asinine comments within your circle of feminist friends.
