Men and women exhibit much the same types of shallowness: easy willingness to judge others solely on the basis of wealth, attractiveness, "charisma," and other superficial criteria.
The difference between the sexes is that men can learn to overcome the human tendency to live by shallow standards, and women cannot.
Male shallowness is superficial, female shallowness is profound.
Shallowness in men is skin-deep. A male, caught young, can be taught to see and value true worth. Truly mature men develop emotional personalities that forbid value judgments of other people.
In women, shallowness is an essential part of their being-- bone deep, and impossible to remove from their emotional makeup. Short of giving girls a lobotomy at birth, there is no way to separate women from the thin, emotional judgmentalism that is essential to the female view of life, the universe, and everything.
When in trouble,
Or in doubt,
Run in circles,
Scream and shout.
