There’s a big controversy over what happened on the Outlook pages of the Washington Post. A column that was written by a woman, Charlotte Allen, and the headline — “We Scream, We Swoon, How Dumb Can We Get?”
She’s talking about women swooning and fainting in Obama audiences and so forth, and how this looks bad for feminism and so forth. It really caused quite an outrageous reaction, and, in fact, they changed the headline.
The original headline was, “We Scream, We Swoon, How Dumb Can We Get?” They changed the headline: “We Scream, We Swoon, Why Do We Look So Dumb?”
And now the editor at the Washington Post Outlook section, “It was a parody, it was tongue-in-cheek.”
Oh, Really?
