Abstract
- The article discusses what the author calls "retro-sexism," or a revival of sexism in American culture. The article suggests that this revival is a product of masculinity in crisis, or even a self-conscious and deliberately ironic joke. It is suggested that feminists and enlightened thinkers are unable to deal with this trend, mainly because no one can determine how seriously to take the trend. Examples of retro-sexism in popular culture are provided.
