Nothing to say but this seems to say it all

"America is now wholly given over to a damned mob of scribbling women, and I should have no chance of success while the public taste is occupied with their trash – and should be ashamed of myself if I did succeed.”
-Nathaniel Hawthorne

I found this on The Junky's Wife blog and it cracked me up. Count me among the damned mob of scribbling women.

Love that quote. Until I read the attribution I assumed it was from some modern male pundit.

Of course, then I Googled it and found this:

I raise my glass (of sparkling cider) to that damned mob...
