Just a glancing at the bookshelf I see Sara Palin, Ann Coulter, Peggy Noonan, Mona Charen, Barbara Olsen and Michelle Malkin. So I’m safe.

“the fact that women are underrepresented in popular culture, Valenti writes, “shows we still have a long way to go for equity in cultural representation.””

Sorry, but culture is the ultimate marketplace, as our cultural consumption is completely voluntary and uncoerced. Nobody can force us to buy a crappy Sarah McLachlan album or Maya Angelou book just to make women feel better. If they produce cultural works that people enjoy, then they’ll be better represented, otherwise they won’t.

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are racist, using the N word.

If you only have white appliances in your home then you’re a racist ... /sarc for those that need it.

That white washer has a black agitator inside!

Put another log on the fire
Cook me up some bacon and some beans
And go out to the car and change the tire
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.

Come on baby you can fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers
And boil me up another pot of tea
Then put another log on the fire babe
And come and tell me why you're leaving me.

Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday
And don't I warn you when you're gettin' fat
Ain't I a gonna take you fishin' someday
Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.

Ain't I always nice to your kid sister
Don't I take her driving every night
So sit here at my feet cause I like you when you're sweet
And you know it ain't feminine to fight.

So put another log on the fire...

Whole heartedly agree. When I say “enough” I mean I say something about this crap and not be polite to PC people.

I am definitely not sexist. Sexism is wrong, and being wrong is for women.

So does the writer believe that if a lady doesn’t have any books written by men, is she a sexist? My bookshelf has books on boating,model railroading and camping. Should I get a few of my wife romance novels?

What about a toaster? It browns bread.
