a follow-up: no seriously, we are.

i don't know how this one slipped by me, BUT charlotte allen penned a pathetic op-ed in the washington post about how women are the dumber sex, and today katha politt answered.

A far more important question is this: Why did The Post publish this nonsense? I can't imagine a great newspaper airing comparable trash talk about any other group. "Asians Really Do Just Copy." "No Wonder Africa's Such a Mess: It's Full of Black People!" Misogyny is the last acceptable prejudice, and nowhere more so than in our nation's clueless and overwhelmingly white-male-controlled media.
