Sorry, forgot this — Kimberly makes a great point: a woman who’s published a 2,000-word whine about nothing other than her ridiculous opinion – in a national newspaper, no less – is claiming solidarity with women who are forbidden by law to vote, drive, or show their faces in public?
Circulation of the LA Times on Sunday, the day Solnit’s piece was published — in the op-ed section headed up by a man:
1,253,849
They say, next to this figure on the LAT’s site, “The Times Sunday circulation is greater than the next 10 largest local newspapers –
combined!”
And, excuse me, this is a woman who’s been “silenced” by men?
