Interview with an Anti-Feminist

So if you took an anti-feminist pundit out for lunch who believes the gender pay gap and domestic violence epidemic have been exaggerated, and denies that feminism helped her own high-profile career, what would you ask her?

Salon’s Rebecca Traister did exactly that and, despite failing to “win” the argument, gives Kate O’Beirne more than sufficient rope to hang herself.

O’Beirne is verging on the delusional: this is well worth a read.
