The "F-Word" Issue

I was so frustrated by the sexism on blatant display in major newsrooms during the primaries that as I write this, I’m planning a party to blow off some steam...a She Devils Party, that is. Named in honor of Chris Matthews and his characterization of Hillary at one point in the campaign. Although he’s the worst offender, he was by no means alone. But Duke Ellington once said, “I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.” So I’ve decided to take the energy it would take to complain and have some fun.
