"Running a household and caring for small children are tasks that are as difficult and time-consuming as anything men do out in the world, and I respect women's ability to do them better than I or any man ever could. That's why I so desperately want to ensure that women continue to perform those tasks."
I doubt you're going to do that singlehandedly. And even if you could, it's not a battle you need to devote your time to. If you're right about human nature, then women will always want to do those things anyway. Why are you worried they'll give them up? Why would you need to fight to enforce what nature's already taken care of? Women will always do the things you're concerned about - they will also expand their range of activities to include other things. That shouldn't threaten you, as long as they're still doing "the basics". If you're now tempted to say that they can't do the basics as well when they're focused on other things, I'll return to my much-earlier statement that women can choose to be, and handle being, multi-dimensional with much greater ease than can men, b/c of the testotesterone factor.
"Women can't choose to dominate men if men refuse to be dominated. We just happen to be living at a time when men are generally willing to play the weaker (or equal) sex, like you and Bernstein, for example. Why they would want to do this, however, is beyond me."
That's not what I meant - I meant "dominate" as in outstanding in a field, as in Margaret Thatcher or Madeleine Albright.
Oh, and get off it. You know I'm a girl.
