Capitol Hill Blue Forums Misc. Topics The Media "We scream, We Swoon, How Dumb Can We Get?"

Sorry. The fact that the article was written by a woman does NOT mean it is not demeaning to women. When you say "women are dumb" -- that's demeaning.

Again, I'm not saying the article should be censored. I'm saying is it really worth publishing in a national newspaper? Lots of articles are submitted to lots of publications every day. The fact that they are not all published is not an indication of censorship.

She is entirely free to express her opinion. I don't have a very high opinion of the article itself; I just expected a higher level of content for a national newspaper.

As far as starting a conversation, there are much better ways to do it than saying "women are dumb."

The article is sexist, yes. But it also doesn't deliver anything new.
