Et tu, onion?

[politicat]

Because, ya know, women are such funny targets for abuse.

The Onion (satirical) paper's "special women's" issue is beyond grotesque. They're well into bigotry here.

I have no idea how one goes about boycotting a free paper, but I know I'll be calling the women friendly businesses in the area that advertise in it (all two of them) and asking them to move their advertising.

Nothing like a punch in the gut from the morning RSS headlines...

1. I could only think of what Molly might have said...

Oh, wait! She did say this:

One kind that makes us chuckle about our foibles and our shared humanity -- like what Garrison Keillor does. The other kind holds people up to public contempt and ridicule -- that's what I do. Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful. I only aim at the powerful. When satire is aimed at the powerless, it is not only cruel -- it's vulgar.

So, did we become powerful and no one told me so it's now okay to take a few swipes at us all powerful women?

Geez, I didn't get the memo...again?! Harumph! It must be my snarky attitude.
