Who's Tired of Pink? Posted January 11, 2008 | 11:45 AM (EST)
I am so tired of pink men bombing brown children and rationalizing it as fighting terrorism. I am so tired of pink men telling women (of all colors) what to do with their wombs--which connect with their brains--in case you forgot. I am so tired of pink men telling us we should stay in Iraq for generations. I am so tired of pink men buying bombs and cheating schools. I am so tired of pink men having wives who stand behind them and nod sagely on television. I am so tired of pink men expecting that someone--a brown, black, yellow or white woman--will trail behind them changing light bulbs, taking out garbage, washing laundry, keeping food in the house, taking care of kids of all ages, of parents of all ages. I am so tired of pink men whose wives double or triple the family income thinking they can spend it without doing a damn thing at home. I am so tired of pink men spouting nonsense on TV. I am so tired of pink men arguing, blathering, bloviating, predicting the future--usually wrongly--and telling women to shut up. I am so sick of hearing that another pink man has dropped his children out a window, off a bridge or killed his pregnant wife or killed his unpregnant wife because he was infatuated with another pregnant woman. I am so sick of pink men making war and talking about peace. I am so sick of pink men appointing their mediocre cronies to judgeships, to political advisors, to cushy jobs, to columns in the paper, to multimillion-dollar posts as CEOS or actors (while the actresses make less) or producers or writers or newsreaders or talk show bloviators or supposedly sage counselors at law. I am so tired of pink men.

Don't tell me about women who kill. I know there are some--but fewer. So let's just remember our mothers--who bore us, protected us against our fathers and grandfathers and all the pink or brown men who wanted to rape us or kill us or starve us because we were girls.
I am not stupid. I know all generalizations are false. I know there are bad mothers, bad women, bad sisters, bad aunts, and bad females of every stripe. But I have seen enough men in high office to last a lifetime.
Let's give women a chance!
I wonder if Jong chose to live in a pink neighborhood for safety and protection.
Wow, at a loss for words here.
Oh, I thought this was about that chick singer with the pink hair. I’m pretty tired of her.
The feelin’ is mootchal, Erica!
The world is soooo tired of Erica Jong. Who in the Hell ever thought she could write?
Her professors at Hunter College, or the editors of the NYT, or any other certified illiterates don’t count.
That gal needs to lay off the pipe.
After a meal in Bangledesh, I was mister yellow for about three months, do I get a pass?
With 40,000,000 plus deaths to their credit, that is a pretty bold statement to make.
My guess is that she used a whole lot of equipment invented by white men to post her diatribe.
Washed-up, trashy novelist strikes another liberal blow for her right to be considered an idiot. Bravo, Erica, well done.
Blanco was first and more most a LIBERAL. Condi rice or Maggie Thatcher would have kept it together because of the caliber of human being they are....first and foremost. Nothing to do with whether they are chicks or not.
My, how I despise feminists.
I saw a pink bluesman in concert once -- Johnny Winter.
Hmm..right off the top of my head, the last two people I can think of who dropped kids off a bridge or killed a pregnant woman were HISPANIC MALES..
And then there was the Texas cabdriver who murdered his two daughters because they were becoming too westernized..yep...an EGYPTIAN MOSLEM..
LOL! (#44)
Goodness, what brought that on? If you’re so tired, try getting a little sleep, Erica, and maybe you’ll feel better.
“Erica Jong needs a long stay in a padded cell, no sharp objects, low light level, straight jacket not buckled too tightly....”
That or rehab!
I’d hope that she was well into her second bottle of something hard when she composed this with tears streaming down her face, congratulating herself on her deep thinking as she mashed the “send” button.
Hopefully today she’s asking herself, “OMG, did I really write and send that?!?”
If not, she needs a long stay in a padded cell, no sharp objects....
couldn’t be -
everyone knows the root of all evil is Western American Traditional Culture.
All other cultures are innocent.
Yes, but what Erica Jong means by “let’s give women a chance” is “let’s give Dem/liberal women a chance”. To them, conservative women aren’t “women” but “slaves of men”.
So I used that example.
I'm not convinced that women will do any better job than the men have done. Maybe Ms. Jong thinks that women in charge will not get us into any more wars, but in that, she's delusional. The only way that will happen is if a woman President surrendered without a fight, if we're attacked. Maybe Ms. Jong would like that, but as a wife, and the mother of 4, I certainly wouldn't.
