Girls who want boys who like boys to be girls.....

City Journal is one of my quartery must reads. Stanley Kurtz has good summary of the whole boy-not-like-girl debate that was recently reignited by Larry Summers.

Girls and Boys by Blur (title line of post) was a song that I used to love that now irritates me intensely - but I still like the line "love in the 90s is paranoid"....watching Ally McBeal repeat at the moment and am struck by her outmodedness - apart from how much fashion has changed from the 90s, her ideas on men and women are so paranoid - relationships war zone in unisex bathrooms. It's not the "are there no good men out there?" questions of Carrie Bradshaw who at least grasps male/female difference at some level - Ally just wants boys who like girls to be boys who do girls (ad nausem)... in short skirts with whiny country-pop in a vortex of after-work dancing. Thank God for Desperate Housewives - but am I the only one who is disappointed every week because the whole murder mystery thing is not progressing at all????
