This sounds like one of those guys who would have books called "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Whatever." Has anyone else seen those? This guy would love the one about Western lit, "Most of the great literature was written by dead white men!" and "Jane Austen wasn't against the patriarchy, but in favor of it!"

There's also "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Feminism," which states that being a slut is bad for the womenz, y'all.

[shrug] The guy sounds like a total asshole, but if a woman wanted to start a women-only library most would not blink an eye. I know, oppressed groups..., but equal equals equal.

@tomboygirl: You know, I think that's not entirely true. There are two pieces to this-the "only male writers" piece, and the "no women are allowed in piece". If there was a library with all female writers (and this seems somewhat imaginable, though it would probably have a mission pretty different fromwhat Zink was going for) that did not allow men to cross the threshhold, there would be a huge uproar. Not the female writers only part- but the barred entrance part.

Okay, so now the link is working and I have to say, the Time article/ feature whatever the heck it is MUST be the inspiration behind that bizarre Lohan jeans campaign. Evidence:

Smoker.

Request.

Cocktail.

Zink.

Alibi.

Regret.

Painter.

I mean, what is that??

If we extend the rule to cover any books with women characters in them, then he can have an almost empty library. And then, when someone expresses a desire to go to that library, so that they can indulge their fantasies of a world without half of the population, we can lock them in. This is working for me, guys.

And don't we wish this happened more:

Regret

At Lawrence, Mass., a sneakthief snatched Mrs. Annie Thiarback's pocketbook, containing $9.70, in a store. Later the store received an unsigned letter containing two $5 bills and a note stating that the writer regretted his conduct.

So when is George Bush going to apologize to the American people for screwing up the country?

@NefariousNewt: I had just copied and pasted that very piece of the article, in order to say something like: "I much prefer this person!" Ah, Newt. You and I are often on the same page!

And yes, please, I'd like a letter addressed to the nation with some cash enclosed from several members of and hangers on to the last administration.

@NefariousNewt: I think within the past month there was a Dunkin Donuts thief who returned either later that same day or the next to give the money back. Which of course got him caught. So it still happens!

Whatever. I'm just going to enlist my dad to help me build a BIGGER library with BETTER books and then I'll get my mum to cook a bbq feast that smells SO GOOD the boys will want to come over to my library. And I'll let them in because I'm NICE LIKE THAT. Then they'll realize the error of their ways and paint a sign over their library that reads "GIRLS WELCOME."

Often men seem maddest at women for making them/men desire them/women. They make them weak, and men despise them for this.

T. M. Zink, esq. If I ever write a novel I have the name for my protagonist.

They are creating a variation of a club that my primary-school friends had because according to them the girls were "yuck", and we were not allowed to join it. This library would probably be all leather chairs and wooden pannels but the main idea is the same.

I think this one is more interesting:

Request

At Chicago, Mrs. Harriett Pfander sued Charles Pfander for divorce because lie [sic] asked her to commit suicide so he could marry his mistress.

I wonder if she got her divorce?
