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.

Feminist in Chief Joan Walsh Shows her Stripes

So at least we now know for sure what the hell happened to Salon. The directive to turn Salon into a Feminist boot camp clearly comes from the new chief editor Joan Walsh. It's no accident we have new features like Broadsheet stocked with five writers (count 'em, five, that's equal to the rest of the blogs combined) dishing man-hatred daily. Or pathetic self-involved drivel from Ayalet Waldman. Or all the rest of the Cosmo-esque navel gazing crap.

Apparently, Joan Walsh thinks her pet obsession ought to be the raison d'etre of this publication. And to hell with what the readers think.

I guess we'll see how that works out.

P.S. Joan - I think you forgot to put a red star next to your byline?
