Sallie Tisdale's Letter to Atlantic


Sallie Tisdale, frequent contributor to Salon and Harper's, author of a 1993 (?) book on pornography Talk Dirty To Me, now an ordained Buddhist monk, takes the editors of Atlantic to task in the current issue:

I was interested in the July/August cover story on “The End of Men” and the notion that women are “taking control of everything.” Fascinating. I note that 26 men contributed prose and poetry to the issue, compared with six women (two of whom wrote the story and sidebar about women taking over everything).

This would be funny, if it wasn’t historically and abundantly typical of The Atlantic and most other major magazines
