In Lieu of a Post on the New Puritans
... (and also how Puritans, old and new, are not at all Puritanical, but more like hippies), since I forgot exactly what I was gonna say (it touched on previous issues I have with some quarters of the feminist portions of left blogistan), I'll engage in Robert Louis Stevenson feminist blogging instead (from "On Marriage" in Virginibus Peuresque as reprinted in The Art of the Personal Essay, which I highly recommend):
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but principally by catchwords; and the little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.
