But my feeling is that Groucho was out to deflate everybody — that he was a thoroughgoing misanthrope.... His misogyny is relentless and thoroughgoing, and it's very hard to tolerate. His attacks on Margaret Dumont almost always take the form of attacking her status as a woman. And it's very odd that he keeps attacking her, because of course she might be wealthy and she might be somewhat clueless and she might be puffed up with her own virtue — but she's actually fairly kind, and a harmless person who just wants to help out these impostors Groucho is inhabiting. But he keeps insulting her for being a woman. And you don't find the same thing in Chaplin or Laurel and Hardy or W.C. Fields, but with the Marx Brothers, yeah, they took woman hatred to a whole new level. It's difficult to watch. -INTERVIEW: Raging against the internet machine: Cultural critic and author Lee Siegel believes the time is ripe for a mature debate about the web's impact on society, personality and culture (David Meyer, May 29, 2008, ZD Net) -INTERVIEW: Why one man defaulted on his student loans and suggests you should too (Lauren Lyster, 6/08/15, Yahoo Finance) -ESSAY: The New York Photo League's Radical Camera: The esthetic of American social realism, especially when it was fueled by Marxist fires, may have had it right all along.
