Guest guest Posted June 28, 1998 Report Share Posted June 28, 1998 youve read the attachment... now you know it gals - AA makes your voices break and you grow a beard - saves you a fortune on steroids. before reunification you could have got to swim for East Germany! I'm wondering how much more of this " supportive research " is like that? ok, Bem didnt mean AA made women hermaphrodites, Bem meant that women developed less gender-stereotypical beliefs (I presume). But the paper heading didnt make any reference to AA effectiveness regarding only women. a minor point, but what abt the effect if the Steps on men? does it make men become more stereotypically masculine? does that help them, or does it make them worse? imho, i think it very, very unlikely that Steps developed almost exclusively by and for men (am I right in that only 1 ofthe first 100 members was a woman?) could happen to have such a beneficial effect for women - altho it might actually make them take on *negative* apsects of male psychology perhaps. Certainly, I have read of women finding the Steps particularlyt unhelpful for them. almost certainly, they are re-interpreted and twisted so much as to completely remove them from what the author originally meant. I might try to get hold of that paper - interesting reading.
