Women rabid over "Runway"?

Also, they all love cosmos, Jimmy Choos and puppies. Oh, and babies.

    Shamu on the runway

    Rebecca, the column in question was only "dumb" if it's not true that the vast majority of the audience for "Runway" is women and homos, which I believe it is. And his point about men and football isn't that only straight men like football, but that it seems only straight men make such a social ritual about watching it, which is also true.

    I mean, it's not as though he wrote a column about how he trained his wife to be obedient by applying techniques used to train captive show animals. I'm sure you would have really hated that.
