Down With The Pootriarchy

The New York Times has published an article that discovers a new cause for feminist maniacs to rage against. I sometime think the Times has pieces like this all loaded up in the chamber, ready to crap them out when they need to divert the story away from their latest shit-the-bed moment.

Apparently the same thing that happens in their newsrooms. Much of the conversation on Twitter the last four days has been dominated by a couple of women who pooped at the New York Times.

From the NYT:

"We may be living in an age where certain pockets of the corporate world are breathlessly adapting to women’s needs — company-subsidized tampons, salary workshops, lactation rooms. But even in the world’s most progressive workplace, it’s not a stretch to think that you might have an empowered female executive leading a meeting at one moment and then sneaking off to another floor to relieve herself, the next." 

"The bathroom is saturated with gender in fascinating ways,” said Mr. Haslam, a professor of psychology at the University of Melbourne, who noted that women’s aversion, particularly at work, is not entirely unfounded: One unpublished study he mentions in his book found that a woman who excused herself to go to the bathroom was evaluated more negatively than one who excused herself to tend to “paperwork” — while there was no difference in the way participants viewed the men."

Poop shame is real. In other words, the patriarchy has seeped into women’s intestinal tracts. Let’s just call it the pootriarchy.
