		ryandrake on March 22, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The takeover of America's legal system I'm almost afraid to ask, but why is everyone calling the author "she"? The byline shows the author as "Aaron Sibarium." I don't want to offend, since maybe Aaron goes by the "she" pronoun, but it's a weird assumption to make even in 2022.

We are all mistaken because of the url.

I read the article, and it was easy to gloss over the fact that Weiss didn't actually write it.

Yeah I was just mistaken about the authorship of the article, I didn't read the byline because it was on Bari Weiss' domain.

Because we thought the author was Bari Weiss.
