Gender wars, continued

I liked both Barbara Kay’s article and Tasha Kheiriddin’s on why women know less about the news.

Both are reasonable responses to a study I posted about yesterday.

What is unreasonable as an explanation is the assertion that there is a “historic hangover,” whereby women believe news and politics to be a man’s domain. But there, Tasha is right too-the study author probably wants another grant somewhere down the line and academia is extraordinarily unforgiving of those who use common sense when it comes to gender difference.
