If you're wondering why the @WSJ ran that misogynist piece about Dr. Jill Biden, lets take a closer look at James Taranto, the man in charge of op-eds.
He's called efforts to stop military rape a "war on men" & "an effort to criminalize male sexuality" https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324021104578549891063938034

Taranto has called feminism a "totalitarianism mindset" and said "the nastiness of contemporary feminism is an indication of its intellectual weakness."
He's also bemoaned that "women can have sex without the fear of pregnancy, just like men can." (?!) https://www.huffpost.com/entry/james-taranto-wall-street-journal_n_4556312

Taranto has also written that "evolutionary psychology contradicts the feminist dogma that the sexes are created equal" and after 3 men died in a shooting shielding their girlfriends, tweeted: "I hope the girls..were worthy of the sacrifice.” https://www.mediamatters.org/wall-street-journal/james-taranto-wsjs-war-men-crusader
Taranto has said that feminists didn't like Sarah Palin because she's a "threat to their sexual identity"

The WSJ op-ed editor also has a *BIG* problem with women who have been sexually harassed or raped.
When Herman Cain was accused of harassment in 2011, Taranto wrote this.

Taranto has also likened rape to drunk driving and said women "are absolved of responsibility [of rape] by virtue of having consumed alcohol." https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304558804579374844067975558
All of which is to say: Who leads publications is fucking important!
If we continue to give misogynists power over some of the most influential column inches in the country, we can't be surprised when they, in turn, elevate other bigots.
