Color me a mama's boy, but I admit it. One of the fascinations for me is how real women are and we disagree with them at our peril. I think it is George Bernard Shaw in Man in Man and Superman who causes John Tanner to say “No man is a match for a woman without hobnailed boots and a whip. Perhaps not even then.” (My mother's only act of violence was a green switch applied to a bare space you know where just once. Stings like hell.)
For another example witness this: Opinion | The Perils of Abstraction
With the conclusion: “It would serve each of us well to make a collective effort to inventory our beliefs, assess how much they rely on abstractions, and consider how a move away from the abstract and toward the concrete might bring us all closer to understanding what winning looks like.”
Timely advice this electoral season.
