This is still one of the best esays I've ever read.
In any event, the entire of idea of 'girl games' is somewhat suspect. Rather than teaching girls to be considerate (aka 'submissive') and cooperative (aka wimps) and to think about feelings (instead of facts), why not raise them to achieve dominance and success in the real world? As long as girls are raised to 'think about others' and seek 'compromise', they will find themselves, as women, losing out in academics and employment to men who know to take all they can get,and then demand more. Compromise is fine when victory is impossible, but as long as you can have it all, why settle for half? Is it a good thing to teach girls how to be submissive?
