Swoon.
(Ok, fine, I’ll admit it: I emailed the post to Jessica and Jesse.)
It’s about Dawn “Copy Editor for Christ” Eden’s upcoming book, and her bizarre assertions about male TV characters. And like everything else on Gawker, it’s quite funny. However, the most hilarious moment may have come from Dawn herself, when she responds to the Gawker post by finger-wagging at Gawker co-editor Jessica, and then by snarking at Feministe (of course):
The Gawker post could have been written by co-editor Jesse Oxfeld, but I’m assuming it’s Coen’s work because it cites Feministe as a source, and no heterosexual man would dare read Feministe unless he were a masochist.
Because the opinion of heterosexual males, naturally, is paramount in Dawn’s world (remind me, why isn’t she married yet?).
I don’t know who wrote the Gawker post, but Jesse was the one who emailed me back. So take that, Dawn! Jesse emails feminists, OMG!
Of course, this probably just means that Jesse is a total homo*. And you know how we feel about homos.**
I won’t dare make assumptions about what kind of people read Dawn’s blog for anything other than shits and giggles. But really, read the post. It’s… something. And don’t miss out on the comments, particularly the one left by Jessica.
UPDATE: Looks like Dawn might have had a change of heart about her response to the Gawker piece (although my guess is that it’s only gonna get snarkier, and she’s changing it primarily because Jessica made her look stupid). If only I had copied her whole original post! Sorry folks, hope you saw the original. And while I’d love to stick around to see what the next one looks like, I’ve gotta go home and eat some dinner. Let me know how it is.
*We have confirmation.
**Two of us (and Dawn!) being good single New York gals, we love them. At least when they’re our friends on TV.
