Cath Deveney Gets Paid For This?

Goodness me, this article is total tripe:

Move over Ians, let the loose cannons have a go.

Dear Fairfax Editor,

I'd like to point out that Cath Deveney has two articles on high rotation: -

1. Men rule the world and this is possibly a bad thing (I agree, but stay with me).
2. We have to love everybody. Really we do.

Occasionally, she adds a third one into the the mix: -

3. I'm really smart. I'm an atheist. Boo sucks to you, thickie. But be tolerant of me and my beliefs you overbearing religious ****.

Anyway.

Today's piece of paid writing is brought to you by first-year feminism, in conjunction with bitter middle-class-woman rage. Cath is, I'm sure, a fine human with her heart in the right place. I just don't see why The Age sees fit to pay her to write those three articles over and over again.

You see, the thing that annoys me is that she craps on about white men running the show and makes little attempt to change it. If I tried to change it, well, it would be situation normal, being a white man. Is she in at a corporate trying to break the glass ceiling? No, she's revelling in the cosy surroundings of the armchair critic. Go team.

Cath's articles are pieces of red wine fuelled inner-Melbourne rage, moaning about private schools (with St. in the name, generally) asking her to mentor young writers for no fee to which she published her snippy reply. Nice. She's awesome. We're animals in clothes, but when the mayor of Mt Isa treats as such, out comes the righteous rage. Oh, she's inconsistent alright.

As I say, it is time that the same people probably stood aside and let everyone else have a lash at it. She's clearly still annoyed about Hilary not getting a go but was curiously participating in the flensing of Sarah Palin. But, hold on, she's not a white man and she had a different way of doing things. Oh, I see, I get it - she disagrees with Deveney on some key points (I refer you to Deveney's third article). It doesn't maker her sexist, it makes her human, (she bleated about being given a going over after ripping into Palin) but the point remains, when she gets what she wants, she doesn't like it. And what does she do about it? Writes a column.
