America's greatest export, soon to be America's ONLY export: It's pervasive culture of narrow, unenlightened self-interest.
Is this just the latest example of American cultural imperialism? Or is it the triumph of planetary feminism? Neither. The globalization of the SYF reflects a series of stunning demographic and economic shifts that are pointing much of the world—with important exceptions, including Africa and most of the Middle East—toward a New Girl Order. It’s a man’s world, James Brown always reminded us. But if these trends continue, not so much.
This long, rambling piece floats somewhere between the "yawn" and "duh" buoys, but still interesting in that you don't really think about crappy TeeVee shows having that much influence, and they don't. But sometimes they get blamed for it.
