Why is it that when women (and Jews, or any other group) voice their disapproval and disappointment in the way another group objectifies them, we're called "sensitive"? First, this blog was not emotional at all. It's tone was very matter-of-fact. This is the opposite of sensitive. Second, it's easy to deflect the notion of femininity onto someone who accuses the name-caller of acting or speaking inappropriately. Third, what's wrong with being "sensitive" anyway? Is it because it's often associated with women? No, it's not that Leah, the other commentors, and I are too sensitive. The problem is that you are not sensitive at all. And I love that picture of Deena Metzger.
