I've figured it out. Clearly, an adolescent boy wrote Charlotte Allen's article for her. I can just hear their conversation:
"All you have to do is write whatever comes to your mind about girls. Remember, they're icky."
"And thousands of people will read it?"
"Yes. It's that simple."
"But what if I don't know what I'm talking about? I'm just 13!"
"I never know what I'm talking about, but that doesn't slow me down. Now get to work."
The entire article played to the absolute worst stereotypes of women. I doubt that ever entered Allen's field of vision, but clearly The Post should have known better. Next time you want a piece that bad, shoot an e-mail and I'll get cracking on one. I promise it will be less offensive, for half the price.
