According to The Nation, if America's most prestigious
newspapers don't publish your op-ed columns, this means you're a
victim of discrimination:
The most traditional location to reach the political
establishment, the Washington Post opinion section, is
brazenly male-dominated. Seventeen of the 19 columnists are men;
only three of the columnists are racial minorities. . . . This
year, only 12 percent of the Post's guest pieces came from
women, according to a May count by ombudsman Deborah Howell. At the
New York Times, eight of the ten weekly columnists are
men; one is black.
However, of all the hundreds of columns published by both the
Washington Post and the
New York Times, none were
written by
me. I am underrepresented -- excluded! These
people are depriving me of my rightful share of the benefits of
this brazen male domination.
Where do I sign up for the class-action lawsuit?
