Yes, Maureen Dowd, men are necessary

[jdnation]

There are a lot of things I sometimes think I’d like to be, but a man is never one of them.

Talk about a group maligned, vilified and marginalized.

For the most part - abusers, perverts and slackers aside - most men are stand up guys. They work hard. They create, tinker, build, engineer and achieve. They take carping, criticizing and complaining on the chin, and rarely get the thanks they deserve.

And now comes New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd’s new book asking “Are Men Necessary?”

In the name of equality, I hope there will be a future release titled, “Is Maureen Dowd Necessary?”

Ms. Dowd needs $25.95 and 352 pages to answer the question as to whether men are necessary.

This Mrs. needs no cash and will answer the question in fewer than 500 words.

Maureen Dowd should be labeled sexist:

After benefitting from a publicizing push that few book get - reviews in every major newspaper, interviews on all the network morning shows - Dowd sold a little over 10,000 copies in her first week. Her publisher tries to spin that as being “on target”.

Hard to make that claim with all the publicity she has had. It sounds like American women have voted by not buying her book. Seems most women do think that men are necessary.

I saw her on Charlie Rose. What a waste of beautiful red hair!

btw, I sent the author Lori Borman a short note thanking her for her article lori@loriborgman.com. She has a blog, too, where the article is posted www.loriborgman.com
and she’s a Hoosier, too! (I’m originally from Indiana and am currently freezing in MN)
