Dilbert author and noted misogynist men’s rights advocate Scott Adams appears to have finally figured out that we live in a socially constructed world, but from what I can tell, his chief insights are a bit…backwards.
‎The part that interests me is that society is organized in such a way that the natural instincts of men are shameful and criminal while the natural instincts of women are mostly legal and acceptable. In other words, men are born as round pegs in a society full of square holes. Whose fault is that? Do you blame the baby who didn’t ask to be born male? Or do you blame the society that brought him into the world, all round-pegged and turgid, and said, “Here’s your square hole�

Oh my.
