First Doug tells us that men are not qualified to judge the question of sexual harrassment, then Doug and Paul Childs disqualify Camille Paglia and Katie Roiphe from the title feminist. Of course Paglia is an academic, a former student of the accused Bloom and a published author; Roiphe's two books are on the harrassment issue (quite what the sales figures in comparison to Doug's economy books tells us is anyone's guess).

But no, Roiphe and Paglia's credentials have been rejected by the feminist credential committee: Doug and Paul!

(A note on serendipity: isn't there something telling about the names of the protagonists? Predator Wolf, innocent Bloom?)
