Irvine Welsh and the Art of Misogyny

I wonder if there is any such thing as political correctness gone mad........

It appears Irvine Welsh has been in a bit of trouble over alleged misogyny in his latest novel. Are people really that slow, and unable to allow for a little poetic license? God help us if writers reduce themselves to a state of self censorship. I'm not a fan of Welsh myself or his macho style but I have no desire to censor anyone.

If this is the first time he has been pulled up over this kind of thing I'm surprised, as I recall the infamous 'Porn' novel, with the blow up doll on the cover (a sight for sore eyes indeed). Wonders never cease......
