so unfair, though.

guys like Theodore Roosevelt gathered mono-sexual throngs to
perpetrate hideous imperialist violence; guys like Reagan stood for
monosexual bonding through vicious games like football; guys like
Larry Summers get picked to lead Harvard and the Treasury after
issuing pronunciamentos about the natural inferiority of women -- and
he picks on Huck and Jim and Tom for getting together and chilling.

I still like Leslie Fiedler though.
