Peter Stillman writes: Tony Brewer is of course correct:  no recent  
paper in any respectable journal could overtly identify rationality and  
masculinity.  
  
  
Can people not understand the difference between endorsing the notion  
that 'rationality is masculine' and the point made by Nelson quoted  
(from the "respectable" journal, the Journal of Economic Perspectives)  
in the previous e-mail that, historically, "people in U.S. and European  
cultures tend to mentally *associate* certain characteristics with  
masculinity or femininity," including, possibly, rationality with  
masculinity (or verse-vice-a)?
