Sorenstam's challenge has sparked another loud round of 19th hole, his-and-hers trash talk in a season already spiked by debate about gender equity. When the guns of Augusta started firing--remember Hootie and Martha?--earlier this year, most of the PGA players tried to jump into the nearest hole to avoid the subject...
...Chino Moreno were a girl - and he'll probably take this the wrong way - he would be Christina Aguilera. The nu-metal that Moreno yawps as lead singer of the Deftones is the masculine obverse of Aguilera's teen pop; both are gender- and age-specific modes of musical expression about sex, self-doubt and self-pity. Both tend to be pretty awful. But Moreno, like his Dirrty doppelgänger, is perceived as being a cut above his peers, mainly because he can sing and occasionally because he can think.

...that there are significant differences between men and women. The more we learn about the impact of hormones such as testosterone and estrogen and the deeper our understanding of evolutionary psychology, the clearer it is that some differences - in physical strength, subtle mental attributes, emotional temperament - can vary with gender. That's why we don't have co-ed sprinting races or expect women to compete with men in the shot-put. But what we have in common as human beings vastly overwhelms what differentiates us as members of one gender or another. Sorenstam is a pioneer in accepting this...
...separatism. It's about personal achievement, not group grievance. It's about merit, not complaint. It's about golf, not politics. Sorenstam cannot be accused of claiming any "special rights." She's embracing the old American virtue of doing your best against the best, and not letting anything - gender, race, class, religion, sexual orientation - get in the way. That was once the core, simple, unifying message of the civil rights movement. Odd, isn't it, that it took a Swedish female golfer to remind...
Opponents of paternity justice, even if they don’t like men that much, should keep in mind that it’s not really a gender issue at stake. Paternity fraud devastates not only the men erroneously declared fathers, but also their families. This includes the children who really are theirs, whom they must also support, sometimes on meager incomes. Laws exonerating paternity fraud victims and rescuing their families from undue financial hardship deserve support, not the blind opposition and gendered hostility they have encountered...
