    What is the point of this idiot article? To highlight the gaping empty fart-boy* vacuity at the core of commercialized masculinity? We already have a pResident in the White House who has been giving us that for years. This kind of drek will be the ruin of Salon. Enough articles like this and thinking women like me will cancel subscriptions in droves. What's that giant suckingsound I hear? The decline and fall of Salon's subscription numbers, by Benoit Denizet-Lewis et al.

    *that expression got there as a typo, but when I looked again, I realized "fart-boy" must be an over-the-hill fratboy, witness the subject of the article! C'est un bon mot trouvé.
