“MikeT: There is nothing more dangerous to other men today than a chivalrous man who refuses to accept the fact that times have changed. Though, sometimes it seems that that “chivalry” is nothing more than a badly veiled contempt for other men.”
If you’ve ever watched Donny Deutsch’s “Big Idea” show on CNBC you’ve seen exactly what you describe played out on the boob tube. Deutsch loves to go on and on about how superior women are and how much better they are than men. He’s simply idealizing himself in comparison to other men (which is of course, just a big ego wank for him) and is engaging in the phony edginess that is de rigeur amongst rich, white liberals by simply parroting the culture’s conventional wisdom about the alleged vast superiority of women. “I’m so down with women!!!” Oh, you’re so brave and noble, Donny! The guy’s a real piece of work.
