Marcotte's essays at Pandagon are filled with fighting words: godbag this, fathers' rights activists that.
Marcotte is absolutely 100% lying when she said in her apology that she didn't mean to upset anyone. Her posts were intended to inflict as much harm with words as can possibly be inflicted.
So Amanda goes through life doing this kind of crap and then like a true arrogant dumbshit she signs onto the Edwards' campaign. Is she a complete retard? Does she really think her shit didn't smell?
If she wants to be a polemicist fine, but the first rule of polemics club is that you don't sign onto a political campaign.
And does she take any responsibility for this? No. It was all Donahue's and glovers and riehls and everyone else's fault.
And then her dipshit friends like Ezra Klein want to know, "what was Edwards' thinking by hiring her?" Well what the hell was Amanda thinking?
Isn't Amanda a rational agent? Isn't she responsible for her actions? Apparently not.
In Amandas world, the godbags and the mens rights activists and the misogynists have it out for Amanda.
And if you read Pandagon, realize that Amanda ruthlessly bans and deletes people that dissent. She has kicked out men, she has bashed gays, she has tossed out women.
And there are plenty of feminist women that disagree with her. That's her dirty little secret.
If you dissent with any bit of her extreme blame it all on godbags and misogynists than out you go.
So read her tale of woe. Oh, poor Amanda, hiding behind her skirt as usual. It's the haters. Everyone hates her.
Amanda and Camille Paglia, Salon is two for two.
