The Huffington Post insulted American intelligence last Friday by publishing a pretzel-logic rant by one Erica Jong, titled “Who's Tired Of Pink?.”

"We are tired of the Pink Feminist Klan and their bought-and-paid for Pink Politicians (of both sexes) telling us that only women are qualified to protect women. We are tired of the Pink Klan controlling our educational systems, law, psychology, and media. We are disgusted by those who insist that worshipping the Vagina Monologues and the Pink Oedipus Complex is a good thing.

We are tired of Pink Warriors of both sexes who converted marriage from a cooperative institution into a war for domination and submission. We are disgusted by those who tell us that marriage is a trap, when we know that it normally provides a much better life for the vast majority of women than anything that the Pink Klan ever accomplished. We are saddened because so many good women bore heavy costs in their personal lives because they were fooled following the Pink Piper down a troubling path that is difficult to get out of. "
