'Retro-Feminist Sexism'?
RECEIVED Mon., March 31, 2008
Dear Editor,
I'm writing in response to Ricardo Acevedo's letter to the editor in the March 28 edition of the Chronicle [“Postmarks”]. Mr. Acevedo wrote in saying that "progressive modern people" should be outraged that there's a show playing in town called The Dick Monologues. Apparently his delicate sensibilities have been offended by this "retro-feminist sexism," and while I really don't want to explore all of the possible psychological reasons the title of this show bothers him so much, I will say this in the spirit of helpfulness and understanding: Dude, get a fucking life.
