Pull my finger and other things that aren’t funny
In which I annoy my single feminist reader
So, as a joke, the WaPo says some sexist things about women. Women are not amused and start nagging err harshly voice their displeasure.
What stereotyping? Right now, this same thing is happening everywhere people are married.
Sorry, Aunt B, could not resist.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I do find the WaPo article funny. Charlotte Allen says stuff like this all the time in dead seriousness, and yet, someone at the WaPo decided to solicit her for a column in which she said the same stuff she always says in the same manner she always says it and the same folks who get mad at her about it are mad at her about it and the WaPo now tries to claim she was just joking? Is her whole career a joke, then?
It’s like the Hobbs thing. Let’s pay people to do what they always do and then be surprised when they do it.
I find that an endless source of amusement.
Anyway, no apologies necessary. I’m well aware–especially when I wear my good bra and let the girls get a little sun–that many married men aren’t that happily married.

What B. said.
It was just heartily stupid after a career of Allen being alarmingly goofy and stupid.
And, yeah, I was bitching.
Thanks for the link, Uncle. Seriously, I do appreciate it.

Aunt B,
Well, regardless of how happy a marriage a man might be in, properly displayed girls will draw admiring looks.

Well, after you’ve seen one nekkid chick…
You wanna see them all!

Oh, Gregg, what fun are mere looks?

So you’ve never read the menu for a restaurant you couldn’t afford to eat at? Or window shopped at the expensive stores? 🙂

Oh, Gregg, what fun are mere looks?
You’re right. There’s no market for just looking at nicely displayed “girls”. 🙂

I’m pretty sure that bragging about what the girls look like in the “good bra” and not posting an accompanying photo violates some rule of etiquette on Al Gore’s Intranets.

Didn’t Katharine Graham’s granddaughter just take over the Post? I’m not getting anything when I google “Charlotte Allen” and “Katharine Weymouth” at the same time, yet it’s really hard to see this editorial cruising in under the publisher’s radar.
All the chatter, yet why isn’t anyone talking this angle?
