WOMAN FALLS OFF BALCONY, FEMINIST BLOG DECIDES IT’S ABOUT SEXISM, ANN ALTHOUSE NOT IMPRESSED: “Like any blog, a feminist blog must feed on the available news stories or die of starvation, but a feminist blog is committed to chewing things into a bolus of feminism. . . . Is that straight out of her notes from a Women’s Studies class? This platitude is the platform for many a feminist blog. Scan stories for minor details relating to gender, then highlight them, and make grandiose statements about the perpetuation of oppression. When the evidence is flimsy, lubricate the bolus with the notion of the subtlety of the oppression. It might be swallowable.”
If you have to have majored in gender studies to spot the sexism, it’s probably not really sexism.
