I really enjoy reading the indominable Oliver Willis. And of course he's right about this. But let's review the titles of some his recent posts:
- "Kim Kardashian and the Brazilian Butt-Lift"
- "Jessica Alba Makes The Case For Why She And Not Lindsay Lohan Should Have Been #1 on Maxim's Hot 100"
- "Obama and the Celebrity Hottie Vote"
- ... etc.
Why, it's almost as if Oliver Willis uses images of attractive Hollywood twentysomething women to improve his ratings!
On the scale of sins of chauvinism, it's obviously not as large as, say, opposing the Paychek Fairness Act. And many people do read blogs for personality, which may include getting to know the members of the author's Laminated List. And yes, even I, self-appointed chauvinism concern troll extraordinaire, do in fact read "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" and watch Pardon the Interruption and OliverWillis.com and from time to time laugh at the "Dirty Old Men" jokes they make ["Dirty Old" describes the jokes, not the men, at least not Oliver --ed]. But to borrow a phrase from Shakes, gender discrimination doesn't happen in a vacuum. Just sayin'.
