Real Stupidity: Charlotte Allen and The Washington Post

Hey all you aspiring writers out there! Wanna know how to get published?

Step 1: Hold your anus open Goatse-style and have a friend shoot an enema up your rectum.

Step 2: Locate the most vile and revolting thing that you spout out of your ass-fountain.

Step 3: Submit your tubgirl bowel-mush to a widely-read and `reputable’ paper like The Washington Post.

Step 4: Wait for the ensuing (bare)backlash.

In this week’s edition of Real Stupidity: You Just Can’t Make this Sort of Thing Up, we chronicle the story of a story, something that makes you pause and think: how the fuck did this shit get published? I’m talking about an outrageous Charlotte Allen op-ed in this Sunday’s WaPost arguing that women are stupid. Yes, you read that correctly, and no, I am not exaggerating in the least here. She actually writes inane butt-drool like:

The theory that women are the dumber sex—or at least the sex that gets into more car accidents—is amply supported by neurological and standardized-testing evidence…

So I don’t understand why more women don’t relax, enjoy the innate abilities most of us possess (as well as the ones fewer of us possess) and revel in the things most important to life at which nearly all of us excel: tenderness toward children and men and the weak and the ability to make a house a home. Then we could shriek and swoon and gossip and read chick lit to our hearts’ content and not mind the fact that way down deep, we are … kind of dim.

Well, I’ve run out of synonyms for human excrement. But that is exactly what this piece is: utter and complete crap!

Dear Charlotte, just because you happen to be a stupid idiot… Please don’t try to drag the rest of womankind down with you. And, oh yeah, you might try to get something to plug up that anus of yours.
