[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The author is Caitlin Flanagan which makes every single word suspect. She is not remotely a trustworthy journalist. [/quote]

Could you elaborate on this?[/quote]

There aren't enough hours in the day to describe Flanagan's long history of writing articles/books that are little more than anti-women screeds that play fast and loose with the truth. I'm honestly surprised anyone takes her remotely seriously at this point. There has been a ton written about her very problematic history but here are a few old, old links, to show you how far back this goes:

Also, this article is published in the Atlantic, which seems to be making a habit of writing articles that play fast and loose with the truth lately (look up their retracted elite sports article).

It all smells of falsehoods and lies. [/quote]
