This is so the worst thing you're going to read all day.

Keeping Romance Alive in the Age of Female Empowerment.

It's hard to pick what my favorite passage is from that stinking garbage fart of an article, but I think I'm going to have to give my vote to: "The male ego can be a more fragile thing than the female ego, which is used to a regular battering and has hence developed a sense of humor!" Yikes.

Perhaps you'd like to contact the New York Times' public editor and politely inquire why it is that serious articles about women's/queer issues—like domestic violence, multigenerational parenting, homophobia's affect on children with gay parents, gender bias and sexual harassment, stalking, and rape—end up in the Style section, but articles like this piece of heteronormative, misogynist shit get filed in World News.
