I've been coming back to this post, and that article, all day, trying to articulate a constructive response. I can't speak to your stuff, but I find Ms. Dowd's stuff very annoying on many interweaving levels. There's so much there that's just fucked up I don't know where to begin. Plus, I'm a man, so I don't know what other men are like, from a woman's point of view. Heck, she may be right, in a general sense. I was quite relieved to find this Slate article, written by a woman, which seems to cover most of my consternated bases. I enjoy most of Ms. Dowd's writing, but God damn, some editor needs to slap her upside the head with a fish. The people who need most to read what she writes will never get beyond her style. Perhaps I sound like someone telling Mozart he has "too many notes" in his pieces, but still...! I really wish that woman would get a reality check.
