Neo_prodigy silences a feminist critic
Over at LJ's inclusive_geeks community, korinna posts about neo_prodigy's misogyny, not only in his personal posts, but in his How To Write Slash posts and his published novel. She includes a large document of examples of his misogyny from the latter. Tee document can be downloaded here.

Why do you have to download it?

Because neo_prodigy responded like all good professionals to criticism and had LJ suspend the post, and when it was transferred to Wordpress, had that suspended as well..

	That's why those old hardbound Reader's Digest Condensed Books are often sold by the foot--as an element of decor, without regard to their contents. (Note that the price Wonder Books demands is a steep one; thrift shops tend to carry them at three or four to the dollar.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, I've seen that sort of thing, but these were modern novels so that didn't leap to mind. They were selected because their dust jackets matched the colors used in the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

This is admittedly a personal eccentricity of mine: whenever presented with the combination of boredom and catalogs, I have a tendency to try to make out the titles of the books on display in furniture and home decor advertisements--what are folks reading in the IKEAverse? Most often, the answer will be best-sellers and big glossy coffee-table cookbooks and travel books; I'd kill to see something like Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, Real Ultimate Power, or the Necronomicon turn up in an IKEAland bookcase.

	I saw a Target flatpack bookcase ad once with a jacketless And I Don't Want to Live this Life. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	:( liked the readers digest books when growing up. They were cheap to buy one out of the three stories was usually good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My mother house- and dog-sits for rich people, and the house she's usually in when I visit seems to be made up of 80% Reader's Digest Condensed Books and the same oversized gilt-framed mirror. It makes me feel like I'm stuck in The Sims. (Reply to this)(Parent)
