    @Xrandadu

    I second, unless someone else already has, the call for the roundtable. Even if we ignore the otherwise erudite topics that tend to generate the round tables (The Palin porno, Orangina Commercials, Michelle Obama's rear etc.) this one would have potential.

    Of course it might actually require some introspection....something that few women in this letters thread have been prepared to do. So much easier to pile on dude who dare to be open and honest and call them names....The writing style of broadsheet posts has frequently flirted with tween level (although I've enjoyed this week's contributions more than most) is it starting to seep into the readers as well?
