Christopher Hitchens versus Feminism

[rrneck]

7. What's your point?

Are you suggesting there be a time clock installed so Ms. Hitchens could get a check from Chris?

On edit: Cristopher Hitchens was worth two million dollars. I cannot verify the veracity of the website, but a best selling author, columnist and lecturer would easily be worth that.

Does that put him in the 1%? Nope. You have to be worth about ten million to do that. Was Ms. Hitchens required to aid him in his career? He said she didn't have to work, so unless he was lying she and she actually was aiding him in his career, she was doing so out of her own volition. Either way, I doubt she would have starved.

Marriage is a collaborative effort. In the case of the Hitchenses collaboration was probably easier than most because they had more money than most people. If the man said she didn't have to work, I'll believe him until I see further evidence.

Hitchens made all that money as a contrarian polemicist, which is to say a professional stirrer of shit. The interviewer got out maneuvered, which is no shame since Hitchens made all that money doing exactly that. It sells books because outraged indignation pays. There is no bad press, especially if you argue for a living.
