Erin Overbey and the New Yorker

I think about this comment, and I think about the mention of Felicia Sonmez earlier. We can debate if their dismissals were warranted. But if you run a news outlet, would you hire either of these people if they applied now?

 

“You’re not wrong, Walter, you’re just an asshole.”

Certainly plenty of it on this thread.

 

Criticism isn't misogyny.

 

Quickly becoming the most overused/misplaced word of this decade.

 

Not always.

But sometimes.

 

Indeed.
