[lbo-talk] It's free! Like the clap!

Of course, women are attacked for abstract thinking, too! They're
supposed to be concerned with concrete relationships, emotions, et
cetera.

I think it's interesting that anti-intellectualism takes such a
gendered form, no? Keeping people in their gender roles requires that
they not think. Maybe there's something to this on functionalist
grounds, or maybe it's just that thinking abstracts one from the sexed
body.
