#1 Just when I edge towards a belief that the lunatics have taken over, an article appears that convinces me that the lunatics have, indeed, taken over. It appears that Harvard may go from a great institution of learning to live a worthwhile life to an institution teaching students how to spot a male's faults. Our faults are as well known as the faults of eating chocolates or ice cream, and the question is, "does adding a male, chocolates, or ice cream enhance a feminist's life?" Learning to spot a male's faults seems, well, stupid. Learning how to lead a great life, achieve great things, lead us out of the mess we are in, and just, finally, taking over, seems great.

#2 There are other studies that indicate similar, disproportionate numbers of men among those with extremely high intelligence.

But Mr. Fjordman forgot that there are also similar and disproportionate numbers of males amongst those with below normal and extremely low intelligence. As a group females cluster around the mean for intelligence, with males disproportionately taking up both tails of the bell curve. This doesn't address the main thrust of his argument, with which I quite agree, but is an important point nonetheless.

#3 "Boys grow up in an atmosphere where masculinity is demonized, attend a school system where they are viewed as deficient girls and are told by the media that men are obsolete and will soon be rendered extinct anyway."

And this differs from the education industry in every western country (including much of the U.S.) how, exactly?
