Salon has lost its relevance to my life lately, and to many of my fellow readers. I canceled my premium subscription after reading this article.
I think it's important that those of you defending it understand that for many of us, the issue is not that this article was written and posted, but that it was given such prime real estate when so many more pressing matters are exploding around us (gay marriage, increasing rich/poor gap, presidential lies).
The exploration of post-baby sex for a privileged hetero woman living smack-dab in the mainstream of the world is what I can read in Cosmo for free as my nails are drying at the local nail place. I turn to Salon for something entirely different, and I'm not getting it anymore. I understand the need for lighter reading, but I agree with those who encourage Salon to strategically place articles to indicate their relative importance.
I'm tired of being disappointed by this publication, so I'm going to stop paying for it. If it changes, I'll be back.
