    Rebecca Traister, the new Camille Paglia

    See my reaction in the column, stage left.

    Men are evil, hate women, adolescents and the patriarchyal TV writers are oppressing women through their scripts. Yawn.

    Or there's the Occam's Razor approach

    Many many TV writers, male and female are finding some common themes: men are abused, men are different, and yet, it is okay to bash men.

    Which approach will Rebecca Traister take? Conspiracy Theory, or Occam's Razor finding common themes with an element of truth?

    Well, never let it be said that Traister was afraid to confront the harsh reality of a Conspiracy Theory. It's the rest of us cowards that insist on Occam's Razor.

    The truth? We can't handle the truth!

    Thank you Colonel Jessup Traister.
