  If the only tool you have is feminism, every problem looks like the patriarchy.

    But a system that makes it harder for a certain group of people to become successful will create more successful people of the favoured group.

    There may be other factors at play here, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that men have a higher likelyness of being extremely talented with the possible underlying implication that talent is dependent on sex.

    As an artist myself I might add, talent is a misconception in itself. Arts are a craft that can be learned.

    What seems to be lacking is women’s ability to recognize and appreciate [extreme talent] in men, and that’s the point I believe anon was trying to make.

    The whole bear/man in the woods thing was about feeling safe, not men’s artistic talent.

    Would I feel uneasy or insecure about it if I was a guy? Probably. But anon fails to ask the important question. Why do women choose the bear, despite the dedicated, artistic, violent deeds of men for love?

    I’ll leave this open, because I believe we won’t see eye to eye on this one.

      Interesting you’d say that. So what does it tell you about who is favored as a group when female college graduates have been outpacing men since 1981?

      Or that more single women own their own homes than single men do?

      A strange patriarchy we live in…
