While messed up gender issues in general terms certainly haven't gone away, am I right to suggest that the specific flavor of fuckedupedness put on display by people like Tweety, Tim Russert, Maureen Dowd, and the rest of that gang is a bit antiquated? When I'm confronted with their various layers of gender weirdness it really seems like some sort of anachronistic parody.
That's not to say I imagine that the younger folk have transcended all of this stuff, just that it at least seems to be different. I find these people bizarre.
