Subject: oy! the bloody transition from martha to dan!

I am dismayed at the transition from Martha (?Burque) to Dan Savage! (First of all I need to ask, though, why I don't find her listed on the web site?!) You are honored enough to have this sharp, intelligent, and most interesting women as your guest. Still, at the end of her section I did not here her name repeated with proper spelling so that I could find her book. (I apologize if this was done and I missed it.)

The real reason I am driven to write is that as a longtime feminist and lesbian myself I found it absolutely offensive to hear you and Dan Savage chuckling together over his little statement that: 'men have sex and women talk'. And I seriously wish that I could remember the exact term he used, was it 'the lesbian process' that referred to a lesbian who according to this savagely misogynist man will be talking until menopause before they will 'process' enough to decide on how to have a child!!!

I wonder, Brian if you would have been so accepting to hear this and let it pass from a straight man. Gay though I am, as is Dan Savage, I can tell you that among the feminist, lesbian people I know he is not popular but is seen for what he is: a misogynist and sexist man.

Dear DS,

Duly noted. Martha Burk's name did not appear on the website this morning because she was not booked until shortly before the program began. But you can get info and links to her on the episode page now. Click here for more.
