Another revealing sign of the incredible parochialism of the New York Times. On August 28, the Times ran a story on how women view Clinton, based on “dozens of interviews across the country.” The story found that while “women” are disappointed in the president, many would vote for him again.
But the unintentionally interesting aspect of the story was the sort of women the Times saw fit to quote. Scott Shuger of Slate listed them by occupation: shareholder activist; novelist; author and editor; graduate-school dean; volunteer; hair-salon owner; university public-relations executive; producer; writer; English professor.
It’s appalling that there’s not one feminist performance artist on that list. Will no one give voice to the voiceless?
