    To Nicole D.

    Yup, you nailed it. Salon is full of rednecks and women in denial who hate any hint of women standing up for themselves.

    Or - perhaps if you actually read the content of the responses minus the filter of your preconceptions you'd realise that the vast majority (if not all) of the respondents are committed feminists (female *and* male) who are disturbed by this seperation of "womens" news from the mainstream, all neatly tied up in a patronising little pink bow.

    It doesn't help that the editors have completly failed to respond to this concern, merely mouthing platitudes about empowerment and cheekyness.
