Don't Dwell On Political Bitterness
- Bryan Caplan argues many feminist complaints are factually mistaken and personally unhelpful to dwell on.
- He urges focusing on positive solutions rather than adopting a posture of sustained bitterness.
Use Common-Sense Fairness, Not Saintly Standards
- Caplan avoids a technical definition of 'fairness' and relies on ordinary shared intuitions.
- He treats extreme standards of fairness as impractical saintliness rather than useful benchmarks.
Men Face Stronger Pressure To Stay Silent
- Caplan points out society often treats men's complaints as less worthy and pressures men to 'suck it up.'
- He argues women receive more sympathy for complaining, so claims women are universally silenced are overstated.
