Read other letters about this article
In my "broad stroke" I was actually responding to another commenter who said that perhaps this story should have been on Broadsheet, and maybe then it would have avoided some of the vitriol. I was only saying that, from my experience reading Broadsheet, that wouldn't have been the case. I agree that others are entitled to their opinions, too. I was only commenting on the fact that so many men choose that site to express their anger towards women.
But your comment sent me back to re-read my own, and I discovered that I had (in the wee hours) edited out another sentence or two about how refreshing it was, in this case, to read so many letters from male readers who "got" it. It being an appreciation for Williams' experience. I think I deleted that part because it was in a paragraph where I thought I went too far in complaining about Salon's readers (something I never did before they implemented this comments feature), and I really wanted my response to focus more on the story.
I'll have to be more judicious about my editing choices in the future. Thanks for calling my attention to it.
