Loved it, brother, and I will watch the movie again. Both.

Barbie and the Zeigeist is a perfect follow-up to the Hermoine Syndrome. I ponder why men feel and behave this way? I can think of a couple reasons and none shine a particularly positive light on men (in general, not specifically, as there are always exceptions.)

Do they measure their own self worth by belittling women? Do they lack self confidence in the value of their own accomplishments?

As a woman, I stand on the sidelines and wonder what is going on inside men's heads. Perhaps that is the difference? I want to understand why so I can try to make it better but do you think most men reciprocate and wonder how their behavior affects the women around them? I have my doubts they even think about how it feels on the other side of the fence.

Great article, Mark!
