You tell 'em Maureen!

On this blog we've had several shout-outs to Times columnists, but I'd like to give a special "Holla Back" to Maureen for her latest article. She spits the truth without hesitations and in a plain manner. Our paternalistic society is too quick to brush away such grave mistakes committed by men. While the woman is the Ho or the Slut with the loose morals. Riiiiiighhhhht.
Let's start rectifying things by applying male chauvinism to, well, males! Refraining from using such lingo altogether is the most ideal solution, but for now the over-zealous feminist in me finds the bashing from the likes of Dowd, quite ideal. One step at a time. You go Maureen!

This part of her article is especially worth noting:

"For some reason, super-strivers have a need to sell what is secretly weakest about themselves, as if they yearn for unmasking. Edwards’s decency and concern for the weak in society — except for his own wife. Bill Clinton’s intellect and love of community — except for his stupidity and destructiveness about Monica. Bush the Younger’s jocular, I’m-in-charge self-confidence — except for turning over his presidency, as no president ever has, to his Veep. Eliot Spitzer’s crusade for truth, justice and the American way — except at home."
