contradiction

A friend just asked me to read his blog....His first post....

http://another-bites-the-dust.blogspot.com/

And for some odd reason it pissed me off.
It pissed me off to see him place women who had moved on because a particalar relationship didnt work for her as the twistee.
He categorised the woman who was open about her sexuality and self as the Twistee.
Its not easy for men to deal with this woman...who questions norms of gender as defined by society and their cultures.
As progressive as they claim to be,it is still a big blow to their ego.
And as progressive as we claim to be...we are all just as chauvanistic.

Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes." They will say, "Women don't have what it takes." ~Clare Boothe Luce
