Catherine Seipp–the intrepid scribe who goes where others fear to tread (namely, inside the head of Maureen Dowd for Inkwell’s Monthly Modo Watch)–has a hilarious piece on the feminization of journalism on National Review.
“The feminization (and psychotherapization) of American culture,” writes Seipp, “so influences the newsroom now that gut feelings are too often treated with the respect of hard facts.”
Like IWF fave Myrna Blyth, who is speaking today under our auspices on the hill, Seipp hits the ignorance and fear mongering of the feminized media:
“The most pervasive unscientific assumptions deal with that well traveled media intersection where pop culture meets public policy,” writes Seipp.
“Journalists are typically nervous about the un-p.c. idea that masculine and feminine behavior have any basis in biology, for instance. No, no, they insist; it’s the culture. So are stallions rarely used as riding horses because the mares get their more docile nature from leafing through ’How To Please a Man’ articles in Cosmopolitan? (And maybe geldings subscribe to, I don’t know, Eunuch Living.)”
