SINCERELY DISAPPOINTED. When the venerable, D.C.-based public radio talk show host Diane Rehm takes on an issue, I like to pay attention. Rehm asks pointed questions in a non-threatening way, evoking some of the most thoughtful conversations one is likely to hear on radio. But today, in taking on the issue of Don Imus's extraordinarily mysogynist remarks, Rehm featured only men as commentators. I find it maddening to hear all these men talking about how African-American women have been so degraded. Are there no African-American women willing or able to discuss this issue? Of course there are! So why do even the best talk show hosts continually turn to only men for commentary on the degradation of women?
