Tim Cavanaugh at Reason asks, "If Harvey Mansfield is so manly, how come he gets his ass kicked by Naomi Wolf (a Yalie, for God's sake!) in this C-SPAN interview?" Here's a snippet:
Manly Mansfield: "What we need is the reconsideration of feminists, to make a place for men. To find something that men can do that contributes."
Wolf: "Aw, that's so sweet. You sound like Bill Clinton saying 'I am relevant.' The goal of feminism was not to make men feel irrelevant. I have to give you some valorization right now, I'm really going to validate you. Or valorize you…"
That probably reads as though it's a very sarcastic exhange, but it's not. Wolf is completely sincere when she says, "Aw, that's so sweet." Watch the video — I can't possibly describe it.
