The happy hypocrite

I never cared that Caitlin Flanagan calls herself an at-home mother, even though she's a magazine writer with a staff of helpers. But now she's using her battle with cancer to denounce feminism and extol her traditional virtues -- and I've had it.

    Caitlin Flanagan

    I understand Joan Walsh's frustration, but Salon writers have got to learn to take a deep breath and ignore some people who don't deserve the energy you expend on them. People like Flanagan are elitists and scam artists and should be treated as such. When she stomps her little feet to get our attention the best thing to do is ignore her. It works with kids and dogs so maybe it will work with crazy anti-feminists as well.
