More Sanctimony

Poor Maureen Dowd, she can't get any respect. So, if a woman is considered a castigating castrator in writing a piece critical of a man, then what is she when she writes a derisive one about another woman? Says Maureen, "This job has not come easily to me. But I have no doubt there are plenty of brilliant women who would bring grace and guts to our nation's op-ed pages, just as, Lawrence Summers notwithstanding, there are plenty of brilliant women out there who are great at math and science. We just need to find and nurture them."

How about we start by not ridiculing women for choosing conservative politics, deriding them for putting their intellect and education into rearing their own children, accusing them of subordination to men by actually liking their husbands, and not having reverse double standards in how women are allowed to treat and talk about men, but hold our own gender as the sacred cow.

And, Maureen, I'm available, but does that offer come with comp time, because I won't quit my day job. I won't afford to.
