To me, a very poorly written article. First paragraph talks about someone saying something about Republican women but doesn’t specifically name the person (until later on, I guess - still not clear). Actually I quit reading halfway through it because it seemed disjointed and muddled.

It's because you had to click thru the links. Her name is: Jessica Valenti but I only learned that by clicking "The Guardian" link to see her, Jessica Valenti's, story.

He could have stated her name before the link, thus allowing readers to avoid from having to follow the link to "The Guardian" which I personally find to be a useless left-wing piece of trash to begin with.

While I agree with him to provide the link, he could have mentioned her name so the reader would have know who he was talking about and could make the choice to follow the link or not.

I stopped reading halfway through for the same reason. This piece is all over the place.
