You gotta love Katha Pollitt. Apparently she, too, caught wind of Charlotte Allen’s Washington Post piece arguing that women are stupid. In a letter to the Post, she writes:

Fortunately, Charlotte Allen boils it all down for the fickle, Obama-crushing, Manolo-coveting, ignorant, conflict-averse, push-aroundable female voter: “Women Aren’t Very Bright.” Thanks for clearing that up! … I’m looking forward to further installments, like “Female Suffrage: A Big Mistake” and “Why Education Is Wasted on Women.” Followed by yet another round of, “Why Don’t Women Read the Washington Post?”
