Fred on Maureen (and the Sisterhood)
posted by Matt on 11:22 AM February 14th, 2005
News Philalethes writes "Fred Reed's latest column does it again:

'Maureen [Dowd] is the resentment columnist for the New York Times. ... In a recent column, headed "Men Just Want Mommy," ... we have the eternal cry (at least it’s beginning to feel eternal) of the unhappy feminist: "The whole world can’t stand me. What’s wrong with the whole world?" ... Actually, what men very much do not want is to marry Mommy. The problem for Maureen is that she is Mommy: censorious, moralizing, self-pitying, endlessly instructive, and so achingly tedious that men find themselves thinking of moldy bath sponges.'

Actually, it's all pretty depressing, but it's good to get a laugh out of it now and then; thanks, Fred."

Fred has gotten better. Numerous bulls-eyes. He could look for Dowd's picture on the NYT web site (perhaps he has--it's decent of him to say that he hasn't). Most likely Dowd doesn't have the courage of her convictions. She's writing to stir up other Metropolitan area entitled spinsters. Why not make something of spinsterhood, like Emily Dickinson?

If the higher earning capacity of her feminist readership means the economic bar is raised, and the pool of available men diminished, whereas for men, there is no such consideration, why blame men? Men aren't forcing women to harden in their steadfast adherence to the principle that eceonomic effectiveness must be correlated with reproductive fitness? Feminist, liberate thyself!

>You don’t have to spend time comparing penises with her.

Without a doubt, the best line of the article. This guy is great!

>He could look for Dowd's picture on the NYT web site...

Most columnists use the same picture for years and years and years and years. Ann Landers and "Dear Abby" were good examples. People are partial to younger women, so women (and men) almost never age their column photos as the years go by. Maureen Dowd could be 86 years old and we'd never know it unless we knew her personally.

I DO love reading him when he disassembles people like Dowd!

My hero Fred Reed. Greatest satirist of our generation. I love his web site. Fred has taken his advice and is hunting poon south of the Rio Grande himself. God Bless Brother. Why listen to an angry Gringa indeed. Why compare penises with a FemHag or FemNag indeed. They are acting like Men and wonder why we are not attracted to them. Hell the other night I turned by Sex in the city and there is the ball buster Kim Catrell doing another chick with a strap on. And you wonder why sane Men aren't rejecting them? Are they Nuts?

I assume it's short for poontang, which is slang for pussy

Whoops! Can we say that word on this site?

Ditohd, Thanks.
Shows what I know. I thought "poon" was possibly slang for "Possum" or even "Raccoon".
Just put this in the "I hadda ask" files. :-)

FYI, when I don't know the meaning of a word or abbreviation (even slang) and I'm on the internet, I've found it really convenient to type the word or abreviation into Google along with the word "definition" and in about 99% of the time, an entry telling me the meaning of the word or abbreviation comes up on the first page.

I checked "poon" and "poontang" after typing my reply to you and it worked in both of these cases. Turns out "poon" is an actual word in addition to poontang, rather than a shortened version of poontang.

Google is great!

At some point in life a man gets as much satisfaction out of the effects of a bowl full of prunes as he does out of... well other things.

Could it be that after reading certain male bashing things in certain morning papers some men gaze off in the distance and introspectively think, "It's time for a bowl of prunes."

Given the abusive male bashing, exploitive nature of so many American women today, erectile dysfunction is not a medical problem that needs a solution, it's a blessing relieving males of dangerous contact with verbally and physically abusive, financial predators.

A lot of newspapers and their columnists are clueless about the deleterious effects that 30 years of radical feminism has had on the American male psyche. In there clueless mental state they pontificate and continue to bash males, but never really get to the deep rooted cause of the injury in men's and boy's lives.

I can see the morning headlines forming before my eyes now, "Dangerous prune fetish has left teenage dating club - boy less." "Prunes and boys are bad."
