Once the xxxxy media men list was made public, many asked, Where will we draw the line? Who will be next? Will there be another list?? It appears there is. The mild-mannered men in media list has now been revealed.
At first glance, you might wonder, Do these missteps really rise to the level of civil or criminal offenses? If thats your reaction, then youre missing the point. My intention is merely to begin a conversation about men who wear thin belts and brag about their low-residency MFA programs. From there, the healing can perhaps begin.

Not sure but, I think it’s supposed to be funny.
I was lost. I suspect this was written for an audience of one.
Sarah Miller is sexist (and not funny). /s (see I can stereotype as well as she can.)
It’s like a seventh grade slam book. Just right for journalists.
