Hanna Rosin is so mad that female Olympians pose in their underwear

    There are certainly plenty of nations where modesty is the rule.

    They seem to be doing really well.

    That's an interesting moving target you've got there.

    Yet she also spent some time on Gracie Gold, who hasn't been presented that way, but is marketable because she looks like Cinderella.

    Here's the ethnocentrism coming through, who says the Russian ladies did not want to do the photos? Hanna Rosin may not like it, but she doesn't live in Russia and is not their spokesperson.

    Danny, this isn't Russia. ... Is this Russia? No, this isn't Russia.

    Next, she'll write that the JV Olympian models work just as hard and deserve coverage too.

    Of course, it is possible that she doesn't really have her panties in a bunch and this article is just brand enhancement for the Internet's foremost guy-hater.

    "The End Of Men" seems to have gone from analysis to life mission statement.

    That book was actually very good. More of a call to action to men in the job force than anything else.

    Hasn't Rosin also written approvingly of the hook-up culture? I do raise my glass to her for that.

    I haven't seen Hangover 2, but my first thought when I saw that photo was that I'm not completely sure it's a woman. Probably racist of me to think so.

    If the Thai skier moved her hands off her boobs, would the photo look any different?
