I'd express some sort of outrage over Miranda Devine's offering this morning, only I can't actually work out what she's saying. I think she's trying to get across that men are natural born rapists and that women's best bet is to try and appeal to their chivalry, but the piece is such a muddle that I can't really be sure. One paragraph says that men's behaviour is natural and another says that girls learn their attitude to sex from the media. Whatever the hell she's on about, it's all feminism's fault, of course.

I'd give an eye to be able to write like hooks. Srsly. Ain't I A Woman? is incredible. Also agonising; I'm still trying to finish it.

I reckon you could do a lot worse than peruse essays by Katha Pollit, old and new.
