Anti-feminism in the New York Times Book Review
Submitted by kingrat on Fri, 2008-04-11 05:07.In a 2007 op-ed for In These Times, media critic Susan J. Douglas noted that there’s “a robust tradition in the Times Book Review to stereotype feminists as single-minded, humorless ideologues who march daily to some shrine where we all genuflect before images of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.”

I have only two thoughts on that.
On one hand - I really don't like women.
On the other - a long time ago I submitted a short story to a genre magazine that was kind of this parody on the Four Horsemen, two of the riders were female. It was turned down but I will not forget the editor's comment.
"It's nice to see that women have now successfully entered the 'death business'."
I resisted the urge to tell him women die, too.
