Da Man's Holdin' Down Wimmin - Again!

The Big Squid has an article up by Heather Mac Donald - someone I can only assume is now a former woman. Read the article for my reasoning.

Seems Susam Estrich is unhappy with the OpEd editor of the LA Times, Michael Kinsley, over the perceived representation of wymyn in those august pages. Any imbalance in anything male / female seems enough to set Estrich's tin hat into meltdown, and in this case she claims to have had her law students counting up letters and opinion pieces. Of course, she then carefully selects her data from this to back up her screaming rant (to call it an argument is too embarrassing). Too bad these students haven't been studying law.

Just so you know - any time a wymyn has ever sent an opinion piece to the LA Times that wasn't published, the reason (according to Estrich) was gender bias. Space constraints, quality of writing, opinions with some tenuous reach towards reality - none of this matters! It's all bias all the time!

She even got so low as to bring up Kinsley battle with Parkinsons Disease as a reason for his apparent mental inability to publish all wimmin all de time.

Sad. Very, very sad.
