Herbert on Politics and Misogyny
Politics and Misogyny
By BOB HERBERT
With Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s win in New Hampshire, gender issues are suddenly in the news. Where has everybody been?
If there was ever a story that deserved more coverage by the news media, it’s the dark persistence of misogyny in America. Sexism in its myriad destructive forms permeates nearly every aspect of American life. For many men, it’s the true national pastime, much bigger than baseball or football.Little attention is being paid to the toll that misogyny takes on society in general, and women and girls in particular.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find a link. (If it's the hed it doesn't work.)
Women and computers. Sheesh.
Ha ha, don't join my brothers in pissing me off.
I fixed it.
Glad you posted this, Alexa. Yesterday I wrote Herbert to thank him for his courage and insight.
This is the most important editorial I have read in years. Talk about exposing the ugly underbelly of America -- and the world! Would that more journalists were as perceptive and courageous.
I wrote to him too!
