Suddenly, one of the sentences leaped out from the page and struck me right across my complacent face. "In a survey at Harvard five years ago 93 percent of male students said that if 'they had the chance and were sure they would not get caught, they would consider forcing a woman to have sex without her consent,'" it said. I thought, no, it's not possible. That figure must be a typo! Probably the real percentage is only 73, or 43, or 13 percent. Then I thought, well, surveys are always questionable. Probably a lot of those guys were...
...fact, some have probably already committed this crime. Let us assume, though, that "the guys we know" would never do such a thing. Somehow, this is not very comforting. Because rape is only the tip of the sexist iceberg. We all know about the paucity of women professors; that male students dominate section discussions; that many women have become anorexic and bulemic in an attempt to fit the model set by, yes, that Budweiser ad. It is easy to shrug these things off because all of us are elites of one sort or another and because, of course, "guys...
...census bureau says it could not do it in 1980 because it didn't have the tools," Rubin says. "Now we have the technology, and it is just a question of the timing."

Estimates vary. Start with what is easy: he is tall and athletic looking, but not especially rugged. His body has the long-muscled grace you see in the male half of a figure-skating pair. On to the hard part: he is quiet, sensible, mannerly, respectful to his parents and, as the Boy Scouts say, "brave, clean and reverent." Clearly there is an image problem here. It does not help, in the iron hat and cow horns department, that Zurbriggen is an exceptionally pious Roman Catholic, who confounds the European sporting press by praying at least twice...
Yitzhak, 20, a conscript serving in the Israeli army's elite Givati brigade, has been stationed in the occupied Gaza Strip for nearly seven weeks. Late one night, he recalls, his patrol was directed to "make our presence felt" in a refugee camp by entering houses, dragging all the male occupants outside and beating them severely. "The men screamed in pain," said Yitzhak of the victims. Some soldiers, repelled by their mission, maneuvered to act as cover outside the houses. "No one refused the orders," Yitzhak is quick to point out. But when the mission was over, arguments and even...
