Blake Hounshell, currently the managing editor of Foreign Policy, and once upon a time the blogger known as Praktike, has been all over the twitter machine the past few days hawking FP's SEX ISSUE!
Yes, sex sells, and yes, I read some of the articles. I was particularly disgusted at the illustrations of a nude woman with a burkha painted on her body. Yes, FP was selling articles about the sexploitation of women with, um, a woman's body. Whatta concept!
I thought about griping about it, but I've got beta lot on my plate right now, and, although that kind of blind and unthinking sexism continues to irritate me, decided not to take the time.
Which was just as well, because Charli Carpenter nails it. Required reading for the Foreign Policy editorial staff.
And I particularly like the graphic!
Many thanks to @dandrezner and @BulletinAtomic for tweeting and retweeting Carpenter's article.
