What on earth is wrong with this woman?
[Read the article: Farrell dog]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So Stephanie Zacharek sneers at those fuddy-duddies who think Farrell’s likening of a live human being to an Italian pastry is pretty fucking sick. She calls it “wattle-shaking disapproval” — since obviously only old biddies with neck wattles think prostitution degrades women. The young and the hip are all totally down with the women-as-meat thing. The idea that we might actually be human is so last year.
The essence of the fucked-upedness of Zacharek’s piece is right here, where she defends Farrell’s prostitute remark:
"The subtext of that comment, if there needs to be one, may be that sometimes it’s more honest to just pay for sex, as opposed to trying to fool a woman into thinking you really like her just so you can get laid — although even that may be a truth some people don’t want to hear."
Bzzz. Wrong. People like me are well aware that people like Colin Farrell think it makes sense to use women like inflatable dolls. That’s not a truth we’re “afraid to hear”; it’s a truth we know all too well and find disgusting.

Here's some advice for Cary Tennis
[Read the article: All the guys I'm dating want me to shave down there]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The word is "vulva." Good lord, are you in third grade? Do you say "pee-pee" and "ca-ca" too?
Can Salon not afford to hire professional writers?

Good for you!
[Read the article: Global warming conference, take two]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was pretty bewildered by that first Broadsheet item. "Don't get your knickers in a twist"? I thought Broadsheet had been taken over by Ladies Against Feminism. Strongly recommend Ms. So be given the heave-ho.

What does prostitution have to do with this?
[Read the article: Rachael Ray, my dinner hooker]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Rachael Ray is my dinner hooker -- fast, reliable, a sure bet" ? And does she also love her work and have a heart of gold?
Do you really have no idea how callous and misogynistic this is? Jesus Christ.

This piece needs to be pulled and Lafsky sent to remedial journalism school
[Read the article: Three cheers for Internet porn]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Kendall paper has been analyzed and discredited; the paper doesn't even meet minimal standards of scholarship. Lafsky's credulous parroting of the results is an embarrassment to Salon.
