@hortense: You are 100% right, IMO.

"some way in which writing about the book seems to reveal as much or more about the reviewer as about the book being reviewed.

@LazyHippo: You didn't say "I occasionally read Andrew Sullivan, and on the occasions I haven't picked up on misogyny." in your original comment.

@LazyHippo: You're familiar with his work and yet you never picked up on the misogyny? But you read condescension into one totally non-condescending line that I wrote?

@LazyHippo: Read his columns sometime.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: No shit. Although I suspect I'll like this book better in some ways, because you could tell in Julie & Julia that she was kind of a mess, but this promises to blow the lid off, which always makes for a better read than just being whiny and mopey.

Ooh, I just bought this as an e-book, so between this and the NYTBR review this weekend, I'm really looking forward to reading it—in a voyeuristic, bloody-minded kind of way. Thanks, Sadie!

@Myrna_Minkoff:

@Myrna_Minkoff: Are you fucking kidding me?

@femme-bot: For real. She is a stone-cold rape apologist. Fuck her.

I would expect someone from [law school] to be more educated, careful, respectful and circumspect. I'm not sure why I would expect that, but I'll adjust.

Further proof Ashley Dupre still has no problem with whoring, even if she's not giving blowjobs anymore.

When female "journalists" write these not-so-thinly-veiled bits of misogyny, the articles inevitably read as though they're projecting their own sexist bullshit onto Womanity just so they can trumpet how they—the canny journalist!—figured out a societal "trend."

Oh, that's terrible. I hope she gets help. And I hope the media leaves her the fuck alone.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: Amen.

@winner: Oh, okay. Must be the strange camera angle.

So...um...what's she doing with the red flag in her mouth?

She had no choice, huh?

@bluebears: Co-sign. I thought that article was excellent and the response was bullshit. Kudos to Dodai for her follow-up, too.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Yeah, you can be jailed for contempt of Congress if you were subpoenaed to appear and you bailed. I'm not sure whether they were formally subpoenaed, though.
