HARD-HITTING JOURNALISM FROM SLATE: Why the Pot-Smoking Gender Gap Matters. New hashtag-feminism campaign: #closethepotgendergap.

But, mockery aside, this piece demonstrates the blindness of feminist writers: “The fact that men don’t feel guilty about firing up a joint and playing Call of Duty while women think they should be spending that time on ‘worthwhile’ activities perhaps bears a little more interrogation.”

The thing is, with the rewards for studying harder and socializing seeming less clear, men are rationally less motivated. Call it being “on strike,” or call it the loss of the “patriarchal dividend” that made men work harder at socially-approved activities to attract and support a wife, there’s just less reason now. And feminists can thank themselves for creating a society where firing up a joint and playing Call of Duty is a rational response.
