The NYT on blackouts

I read this with great interest. Hepola writes:

I interviewed a blackout expert for my book, and he told me something I’ve never forgotten: “When men are in a blackout, they do things to the world. When women are in a blackout, things are done to them.”

I was talking to Adam about this and he said: "It's the physical strength that guys have over girls." Yes, that. That, and more.
