In a response to an op-ed in the WaPo, Salon’s Amanda Marcotte points out the double standard applied in the WaPo article: It paints men as hapless bystanders who are excluded from female-centric pop culture, putting the onus on women to provide entertainment for men lest they are deprived of any amusement in life.

    I’m not a fan of Taylor Swift or Beyonce, but I find I can live my life pretty much unaware of their existence. I agree, the only dudes I’ve met who actively spent their time complaining about these things are fragile and sad in deeper ways. The Barbie movie was good though.
