    re "Chick Flicks"

    Oh, it is just too, too funny to see this article in Broadsheet -- you know, the column that "only legitimize[s] the already generally accepted notion that there are [articles] for everyone, and then there are [articles] for women. Like a miracle household product, it marginalizes as it defines."
