Perhaps She’s Not A Genius After All.

I got it wrong.  According to Motoko Rich, of the New York Times publishing beat, the mother-consumer is not actually buying books about feminist issues.  Apparently, catchy titles, talk show appearances and inflamed bloggers don’t equate to book sales.  Who knew?

Just for the record, I actually was going to buy the book, but when I put “Read a Book With an Inflammatory Title Whose Basic Premise I Already Support” on my Google To-Do List I stuck a ‘low priority’ tag on it.  You already know what happens to those tasks. 

Edited to Add:  This just in… I might have been right the first time.  Lot o’ people not real happy with Rich for writing off the Bennetts book as a non-seller. 

I think maybe I liked the old feminism better – you know, the good old days, when we attacked men instead of each other.
