  1. Great post Nate. I was so pissed off reading that Lapidos article. I wonder what brand of hyper-liberal propaganda would satisfy her frightened version of feminism. That Newitz article is on point.

  2. Incredible articles! (the comments on the reply are good too) And I agree with Stephen. Lapidos has a really antiquated view of feminism (or gender equality, rather) if she's not even addressing how the male characters are portrayed.
