"To those who are worried that the creation of Broadsheet means that we're marginalizing stories about women: that couldn't be further from the truth. Our aim is to publish more -- scads more, in fact -- stories that are of interest to women."
Excuse me, but just how absolutely freaking clueless does somebody have to be to respond to tsunami of complaints that "stories of interest to women" are, for the most part, not stories of interest exclusively to women and therefore, stories of interest to or about women SHOULD NOT BE SEQUESTERED IN THEIR OWN LITTLE PINK GHETTO, by promising to sequester even more stories "of interest to women" in the pink ghetto?
We women are perfectly capable of finding the stories that interest us without a big pink bow to draw our attention. There's no reason to publish the stories that may be of particular interest to women separate from the rest of Salon's content.
It's time to admit that groupthink spawned an idea that has offended the majority of Salon's readership. Keep the stories, but get rid of the ghetto.
