As Matt and spackerman note, this collection of bizarre anecdotes and phrenology from Charlotte Allen has to be the dumbest thing published in an American newspaper in many moons. So I guess I can see why she would want to blame it on her gender...
the Dowdification of American political journalism
Yet more evidence for the proposition that the answer to the question "Who's worse, MoDo or Paglia?" is "whoever you've read most recently." I won't even get into Paglia's fulsome.
I was set to write a post about today's MoDo. In today's installment, she actually writes a couple of lucid paragraphs about the "media's" sexist coverage of Hillary Clinton, while.

The heart sags at the idea of dealing with yet another case of MoDo using her longing for 19th century gender relations to create asinine, content-free negative scripts about the Democratic candidates. That features an African-American man being "whipped" by a white woman. Fortunately, it's...
Molly Ivors does a good job with the latest bit of vacuous misogyny from Maureen Dowd, whose presence on a major op-ed page remains and will always be an absolute.
