Q. Did you say female taunting? What does that mean exactly?

[Laughs.] I think your readers will understand it.

I don't. Is she calling the liberals "feminine"? Is she calling them all "bitches"?

Funny you should ask what Ann meant by 'female taunting'. It's extremely significant that Lev Grossman, Interviewer par Extraordinaire (/sarcasm) had to ask what she meant. Ann's reply was that her readers would know what she meant. In other words, Grossman just exposed the fact that he hadn't even bothered to read her book before sitting down to this 'penetrating interview'. In her book, Ann continually says the Democrats/liberals are always doing 'girly whining' and calls them 'girlie girls', not men. She pretty much emasculates liberals. THATs what she means by 'female taunting'--the equivalent of 'neener neener neener' from supposedly grown men-leaders.

Yes, she does it all the time. Female, girly-men, womanish, carping... it's really quite charming.

I don't. Is she calling the liberals "feminine"? Is she calling them all "bitches"?

In an interview a few years ago she caused a huge controversy by calling liberals a buncha "girly-men" because they can't take criticism.

I think it's a nice way to say bitch!
