Letters to the Editor
-
P.S.
Post script to the above note:
And what's with this editorial trend lately of printing articles by women attacking other women, no matter how illogical or far-fetched the attack is? At a time when it's extremely hard for women to get anything near equal editorial space in our nations newspapers in order to talk about real subjects (like, say, the war in Iraq or the bankrupting of our society here at home), why do women who are willing to slag off other women on the flimsiest of contexts find it so easy to gain column inches? Are we next going to see a slew of articles by black or hispanic writers questioning the intelligence and morals of people of color and the value of the civil rights movement? Which would be the equivalent.
I would like to gather all the nation's newspapers and producers into a room and say, "For heaven's sake, up. Our country, and planet, have huge problems to tackle, and you're wasting our time throwing spitballs at the girls."
