To draw attention to female authors, a Cleveland bookstore celebrated Women’s History Month by turning every male-written book in the fiction room backward on its shelf.

Eight of the all-female employees of Loganberry Books went through about 10,000 books, a process that took about two hours. They’ll leave the books turned around for the next two weeks

Another sign of the decay of our culture brought about by self-loathing.

If I were a publisher, and they flipped my books. I’d sue.

Their stated intent is enough to put them out of business for good.

I'd go in and undo them all. Then take all the female-authored books and rearrange them out of order. Or take a big pile of them up to the register and then tell them I left my wallet in the car but just leave.

You want to play silly games? You have more to lose than I do.

If I walked into a bookstore to shop and saw the shelves in such disarray I would never come back to that store. How can I trust that the selection on those shelves have not been filtered by the haters?

I search for interesting information in bookstores, not someones choice for my information.

That store is toast. The owner will be destroyed by his idiot employees.

An all-female staff? Isn’t that discrimination against males?

"...Eight women in the all-female staff blah, blah, blah..."


None of them have grandfathers, fathers, husbands, boyfriends, sons, nephews, or male friends who are good people?
