Sadly, I think you’re onto something with your last line. It may be that people aren’t more horrified, but that it happens (or, at least,is reported) less frequently.

Sharon Stone also had the only good line in Catwoman. When Benjamin Bratt says, “You don’t wanna shoot a cop,” she sneers, “I’m a woman, Lone - I’m used to doing all kinds of things I don’t wanna do.”
She delivered it with a lot of conviction...

Hah!!
There’s a writer - unfortunately I can’t remember who at the moment, may have been previously at Gawker, or The Awl - who frequently wrote “...and that’s when I hit ‘close tab’.”

PROTIP: Caitlin Flanagan’s byline = close tab.

Your misogynistic language isn’t really helping your case.

It’s reductive and unfair to assess Katie Roiphe’s career & views as being one giant “fuck you” to mom, but it’s also very tempting.

I thought it was Mason Verger for a moment...

That happens to me when I have a page open for too long, and I’ve noticed it only happens on my webpage; if you refresh the page, there’s no star subtracted and you can add one.

THANK YOU. I couldn’t believe that I was reading the same book as all those reviewers.

Or a remake of “Suspiria”...

Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut, I guess...

Crazy Days and Nights is barely one step above fan fiction though.

Gary Indiana’s “Three Month Fever” was very good as well.

Today we are all Oscar.

I was being sarcastic, sorry if that didn’t come through...

Well, he did want to fuck Perry Smith...

Or St. Elmo’s fire, whose three male characters are: a stalker (Emilio Estevez), an attempted date-rapist (Rob Lowe), and a “Nice Guy” (Andrew McCarthy).
CHARMING.

No, I saw it too. It’s even more chilling in retrospect, isn’t it?

I’m so glad you joined Dirtcast, because I read/heard this entire thing in your voice, punctuated by the occasional laugh, and now I’m sitting at my desk shaking & trying not to cackle out loud myself...

So that we may live with our shame unto eternity.
