re: What has caused the feminization of western civilization?

All the trappings of our success economically, including new entertainment options to suck up our time starting 100 or so years ago.

I'm sorry, but my grandfather the farmer never attended a baseball/sporting events and rarely watched TV. Just didn't have time. Always something to work on.

Just think of the progression of entertainment choices along w mass advertising and consumerism, starting w radio and now with the Interwebs. All providing instant gratification and distracting us from the stark realities of our lives. Makes people lazy.

Per the topic, some women are still told who to vote for. My wife for example - she could give a shite about politics but knows that I have that area covered for her based on our shared beliefs. So she simply asks me.
