Attacking a woman's opinions based on what she looks like, and his proferred dislike for her looks--that's mysogyny.

It's also utterly juvenile--something an insecure adolescent male would do when he feels threatened by someone who happens to be female. "Fading looks"--Gee, is that supposed to be so devastating? Scientific?

Ann is a much better writer than public personality. "Treason" was particularly good.

You cannot be that dense (what am I saying?). The point they were making is that her looks are the only reason anyone listens to her. That's not mysogyny. Mysogyny is the hatred of women in general. Disliking one woman in particular in no way even equates to mysogyny.

How about attacking a vacuous, bitter woman who frequents discussions on subjects she knows nothing about and posts nothing but venom?

Not that anyone in this company fits that description.

And yet I doubt I'll see you spring to the defence of Helen Thomas anytime soon.
