Oh, my. The internets are endlessly amusing.

Act. 1 — Linda Hirshman writes that women are dumb cows. Hillary needs to catch the eye of the dumb cows by talking about emotions and all. Subtext — Why can’t women be more like men? Maybe if I yell at them enough, they’ll butch it up.

Act 2 — Liberal and feminist blogosphere say fuck off, Linda. And Ann Althouse, too. Mark Schmittt on Blogginghead TV really takes her to task.

Act 3 — Linda responds (and here, too.) It starts off, “The Internet is full of the eponymous blogs of academics with apparently nothing else to do….” It gets better.

Act 4 — Mark Schmitt replies in the comments. Oh, it is so, so fine. He ends with, “… I’m beginning to think that you have simply strip-mined the academic literature for evidence that proves your point, rather than evaluated it seriously.”
