I posted a raving review for Salon's new Broadsheet section on the first day it came out. Then, I read the comments made by other readers. What a reality check.......
It's become disturbing and disheartening to me to see how venomous people became over devoting an entire section to "women's news". It had the flavor of a gender lynching. And I can't help but wonder if people would've reacted the same if a section had been created to focus on Hispanic news (an often underreported and forgotten segment of America's population).
Reading the posts also confirmed what I've long suspected - feminism STILL scares men, and many women who call themselves feminists refuse to acknowledge that any inequity still exists. Since many men and women who read Salon don't seem to acknowledge this inequity, it's no wonder this bright new bridge in reporting is causing their world order to crumble.
