    I feel bad that I gave Double X a pageview

    They obv. only hired Linda Hirshman to drive up traffic, which is fine as they are a business and all, but she is obnoxious and should probably just be ignored. I won't get started, but what angered me the most is when she argued that Megan doesn't have the right to critize the military's handling of rape because she didn't report it when she was raped when she was 17. She was in a different country, she didn't trust the judicial system there, and she was about to leave. She was brave for writing about her experience. If Linda Hirshman was always like this, I feel sorry for the students that had to have her as a professor.
