[Slashdot] 10:57:10 PM    comment []; It's a men's World.. Great article in Newsweek on autism. Four out of five kids with autism are boys. They call it an extreme version of normal male intelligence. Empathizing intelligence is the yin to systemizing intelligence's yang. Without one the other is lost. The DaVinci Code, balancing our Yin and Yang, the female and male energies...Radio ranter Michael Savage says calls this country a "feminized America", but I disagree and feel that these are masculine times indeed.
