Remember how women wanted to smash those glass ceilings? Well, it looks like they’re the ones getting smashed:
Sure, it’s terrific that women have made great strides in the last few decades. There’s nothing like powerful female CEOs, politicians and civic leaders to give little girls big dreams. But I wonder if women really “enjoyed” stumbling home pie-eyed before waking up with a raging hangover just like the guys. Too, it would be interesting to see if those “range of behaviors” to which Dr. Grucza referred were fueled by booze – and wound up with the women enjoying an STD or unplanned pregnancy. While I’m no sociologist, I bet those rates were way lower before the 1960s, when women could have made a legitimate claim to standing on a higher moral plane than men, if only because they weren’t getting plastered. That’s one unexpected side effect of the feminist movement: men and women can all behave badly together. No doubt Gloria Steinem is drinking a toast to equality.
