ALL ABOUT DIRTY GIRLS
In the late-aughts, I pitched myself as a sex columnist who wasn’t just going to write things like how to buy your lady lingerie (it’s cool, we don’t really want it), but what we were really like as humans — the good, the beautiful, and yep, the disgusting. The goal was to show the Maxim audience that women were similar to them, in the hopes they would see us as equals. Did it work? Who knows! But I do know that it made a lot of people laugh, including men, and that one time when I was doing a radio show about how women actually farted, a bunch of long-haul truckers called in to say I’d “changed their views on the ladies!”
