Maureen Dowd on TV Anchor Whitey McMale

Maureen Dowd’s piece today on TV news’ white-male monopoly alternately pleased me and pissed me off.
It’s important that attention is brought to the lack of diversity in TV news, specifically anchor positions. But Dowd’s contention that feminists just don’t care about this inequity is false and somewhat insulting:
Even if I felt like raising a ruckus about Boys Nation, who would care? Feminism lasted for a nanosecond, but the backlash has lasted 30 years.
…I checked around for feminist outrage, but couldn’t find any.
I’m glad that Dowd notes how pervasive the backlash against feminism is, but saying feminism lasted a nanosecond? What the hell am I doing with myself here then?
I would argue that feminists do care about issues like these, but the problem is that when we express outrage—or even annoyance—over anything other than a few topics generally thought of as “serious” feminist issues like violence or repro rights, we are immediately dismissed as silly girls focusing on trivial issues. It opens the door for anti-feminists to scream, “See! Feminism no longer has anything important to say!”
But when feminists don’t speak out on an issue, it’s supposed to be an indicator that feminism just doesn’t exist anymore or is being remiss somehow.
Any thoughts?
