Because of course there are no female bankers

Published at January 29, 2009 in Delusion, Woman-Hating and Dipshittery.

I’d love to do a thorough fisking of this article on “Dating a Banker Anonymous,” and what it says about how society views women, how the New York Times views women, how the New York Times really needs to hire writers who didn’t all go to Dalton and Nightingale, and how these women view themselves (hint: as accessories for rich, powerful men), but I rather feel the need to take a shower.

    I genuinely believe that site is, or at least was started as, a punk/book proposal.

    Is there not a class in J school where the students learn that their immediate social circle does not represent the world? That their experiences are not necessarily representative or more important than other people’s?

    No, I guess not. But there should be.

    Good call, Julia!

    It seemed just a little *too* over-the-top, you know?
