Yoga = Cocksucking = Irrelevant
It's just that simple! #maureendowd

You do not have a penis, but this needn't sadden you,
You'll never need Viagra, you won't have balls of blue.
An inconvenient hardon won't interrupt your job.
You won't be in the men's room, aiming like a slob.
You'll never be a man who over time will find,
He hasn't enough corpuscles to run both cock and mind.
Instead, God gave you titties! And a great vajay!
These are things you should embrace to chase the blues away.
Instead of wasting time pondering like Babbit,
Which men are girls and girls are men (a nasty little habit),
I'd suggest you go online
And buy yourself a Rabbit.
Men are all different, women too, not all will act the same
Some women like to drink and screw, some men like Auntie Mame.
O'er these things it wastes your time to idly obsess.
I'll arch a brow only if Obama's in a dress.
So drop this strange compulsion to write of who has wangs,
(But let us know of Cheney's stage debut when he comes to Lucky Cheng's.)
Best regards,

While she was enjoying her "post-feminist" privileges and denigrating the radical actions, litigation and legislative campaigns that made her success possible, others of us continued the fight against all the gender inequities Ms. Lipman seems to have just discovered — unequal pay, the glass ceiling, job ghettos, media sexism (not to mention rape and violence against women) — none of which is very funny. Yet she trots out the old canard that women need a sense of humor before they can demand their rights.

The others (aka, "size 8 and over," "not white"): fat, lazy, eat at McDonald's. #joannelipman

But I agree with your points. Although I'm an XX female I did not feel included and was tempted to quote Tonto.
There was a distinct whiff of upper-middle-class-white-woman entitlement to it.

"But Dowd was not just crying for herself. She was crying for all of the pundits and journalists and bloggers who worry that another Clinton Administration will turn us into Clinton-hating hacks. She was crying for all of us who remember how the peace and prosperity of the Clinton era led directly into the war and economic downturn of the Bush years, something we don't want to happen again. She feels our pain."
For a good laugh:

This is not the first time Ms. Shaidle, has taken on the menace of the poor. "The so-called poor have cars and cable tv and free medical," she wrote last year. "They live in America in the 21st century, where school is free and libraries are free and a bus ticket to a better town costs less than a bag of crack. If they're 'poor' it's because they were too lazy and stupid to a) finish high school and/or b) keep their pants on. Jesus had something to say about folks who didn't properly manage their money or other people's." Although I am not familiar with Jesus' admonitions against poor accounting practices, she has a point. Instead of waging class war against the wealthy who worked hard for their money, we should be attacking the poor. After a lot of unsuspecting investors were lured by the poor into putting their hard-earned money into credit defaults swaps and tricked into giving deadbeats subprime mortgages, which ruined our entire economy, haven't poor people done enough harm to this country? #joannelipman

Relative free riders like Lippman kept their mouths shut, understanding that it wasn't in their interest to rock the boat. Then when the boat capsizes, they're a martyr to the cause.
The 9/11 point isn't completely nuts. I'm saying I agree, but I remember reading an interview with Susan Faludi in which she attributed the success of "Backlash" in part to its having been published before or after the Gulf War (I can't remember when the book came out.) The Gulf War was "Boy's Time," I think she called it; peacetime was "Girls' Time."
Lippman seems to be saying that in national security emergencies such as 9/11 the rights of women [and others, I might add] are subsumed by the immediate crisis -- We'll get back to you girls/minorities later.

Nytpicker's right, she's ignorant of basic facts.
