Since feminism is probably one of the most dangerous threats to the Catholic family, it is very important to dispel feminist myths, illusions, and attitudes that subconsciously creep into the minds of Catholics.
If you find particularly good and insightful articles that reveal the differences between men and women in ways that help allay the confusion and misapprehension that is felt by young Catholics today over the respective roles of men and women, then please post excerpts of them here.
Here's the first one:
In this study, female undergraduates in a mathematics course were given a mobile device on which they could record their strivings and activities in various areas, including romance and academics. They might note a crush, or calling someone they liked (romantically) or various academic accomplishments (related to finishing assignments, doing well in class, etc.). Likewise they answered questions about their senses of how attractive they found themselves.
The results: when the women were focused on romance, they felt good about themselves, but were not invested in their math class. And whenever they considered themselves attractive or desirable, the next day they would be disengaged from the math courses.
