Susan Estrich on . . . From Mike To Christine
Penner's poignant column announcing that he would be going on vacation, that on this vacation he would undergo reassignment surgery, and that he would return to his job as a sportswriter as Christine Daniels generated many positive and supportive responses. And some very ugly ones.
Many of them came from men. As one person noted, the women were so much kinder than the men that you couldn't help thinking that Penner had chosen the better sex. . . .
How dare he use the sports pages to unburden himself, a number of people have argued, on the paper's own website and on others that focus on sports. Weird, others said, in comments that can't be repeated here.
