Thanks Eliezer—well written. I’m surprised people think they can read so much about my attitude toward women from the few words I wrote in that post. I do find women a bit harder to comprehend than men, but most men are pretty hard to comprehend as well. I was mainly wondering if the glory-relations male-female correlation could help explain disinterest in our blog. I still think that theory has some plausibility, but mostly I’m just very uncertain. And I find it pretty plausible that it is just some feature of you and I that women are reacting to, rather than our official topic per se. At the meta level I fear our cultural taboo against honestly discussing the ways in which we find the other sex/gender puzzling leaves us even more in the dark.
