Second, I'd like to say: HAHAHAHA!!!! That is me laughing at the irony of a feminist stereotyping Munch in the way she claims he stereotypes her. Can you really, in the same breath, claim that Munch is sexist for his <i>satirical</i> portrayal of the unfeeling protagonist bitch and HER disgust with the feeling, caring publicist? If he's satirizing the Alpha female bitch, then isn't what she says about the "weak" publicist sort of by definition the opposite of how he truly feels? Dude, if you don't like his writing, that's fine. But don't make yourself look stupid by insulting him and validating all those "I hate men, they're all stupid and childish" stereotypes against feminists.

So thanks for my new material!

Sabs, you can keep my copy of that, by the way, because I got a new one at a recent book-signing by Ms. Weisberger herself! “Shelly” wrote this, I promise you.
