I was a little wary of this whole Broadsheet idea - now I know why. As with many other woman-centered blog-type media, it's never long before words like "pussy" start getting batted around in a way that is obviously supposed to be either clever, perhaps even cutesy. Frankly, it just comes across as forced, and more than a little creepy.
First, even though Broadsheet is a sort-of blog, and thus doesn't have to provide any truly relevant content or commentary, I'd still like to see something that constitutes an interesting tidbit or even NEWS. This story is not news, and wordplay does not make it so.
It seems as though Ms. Traister was just DYING for an excuse to have a chance to use the word "pussy". Ha. Ha. Ha. As in "cat". Clever. I get it. Grow up.
