Slog - Comments on "Gender Stereotypes" Does Not Mean What Maureen Dowd Thinks It Means http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/notes I'm a little late getting to this (no time to Slog these past two deadline days), but did folks read the Public Editor column in last Sunday's New York Times? The column poses the question that's suddenly trendy now that Hillary Clinton is safely out of the way: Did sexism color media coverage of the Clinton campaign? Specifically, did it color the NYT's coverage? The answer, Public Editor Clark Hoyt concludes, was mostly no -- except for one notable exception: Editorial columnist Maureen Dowd, whose columns were so loaded with language painting [Clinton] as a 50-foot woman with a suffocating...

I tried reading Are Men Necessary? back in the day, but found it loaded with so much stereotyping language (ie, women are obsessed with shoes, etc) that I couldn't finish it.

It's called "if you don't like it, then don't read it, and most definitely do not comment on it". Since you (presumably) can read the title and the author of the post, it's pretty easy to skip.

It's what I do with Jen Graves art posts and Charles' architecture posts (which I'm usually not interested in), as well as the Reading Tonight posts (since I don't live in Seattle).

But, she has red hair. I could almost nominate her for "Crush of Shame". But, no crush, just shame.

That she offends doctrinaire humorless harpies adds to her appeal.

Also, it is always a pleasure to look at and listen to Dowd when she appears on television.

Great job jumping on the MoDo-is-sexist bandwagon! Still looking forward to an original insight from you on this meme. Anytime now, I'm sure.

In the meantime, at least you're here to chronicle others' analyses.
