Aah, Miss Amy, how lucky you are! Such a brave and independent woman (under 35, I suppose), who will have none of that stinkin’ feminism, right.
Let me just tell you that as a woman of a certain age, I wholeheartedly agree with Solnit’s observations on MWEThings. Why, had two close encounters with them just last weekend, in a professional setting, where they generously explained things that happen to be my area of expertise (and which they knew nothing about, though they thought they should lecture me anyway). After it became obvious that they knew close to nothing, they just scurried away, with no acknowledgment of their ignorance or, good heavens, an apology. No doubt to nurse their bruised egos by finding some other woman to which they could explain things more thoroughly. Needless to say, I enjoyed Solnit’s article–it’s very timely, and eternally so, I’d add.
