...dedicated to eradicating male privilege. Men are the enemy, after all. Furthermore, males who proudly declaim their own "liberation"--meaning their rejection of sexual stereotypes--stumble noticeably between theory and practice, especially when practice involves concrete sacrifices.

Says Wyllie: "Hong Kong is still a place where you can make money freely and legitimately and, what's more, you can keep it." As for Hutchison, he adds: "Once we have stopped to take a breath, then the growth can start again"-presumably from a drastically shrunken base...
