Michael Calleri, a long-time reviewer for the paper, had written to Parlato to find out why his recent reviews were not being published, including one of Snow White and the Huntsman, a twist on the classic fairy tale that has a sword-wielding Snow White lead an army into battle.

Parlato replied the film promoted “the Hollywood agenda of glorifying degenerate power women and promoting as natural the weakling, hyena -like men, cum eunuchs.”

He encourages Calleri to seek another publisher or to write reviews “where men act like good strong men and have a heroic inspiring influence on young people to build up their character.” He adds: “I am not interested in supporting the reversing of traditional gender roles.”

Calleri’s lengthy screed, clocking in at 3,200 words, is mostly a personal diatribe against Parlato and his leadership of the Niagara Falls Reporter. The movie critic writes that the publisher’s “villainous treatment of strong women, is so appalling, that it borders on being unbelievable” and notes that he has already found a new gig, writing for Buffalo-based WNYMedia.net.

The post has exploded across the blogosphere and led feminist website Jezebel to call the email “a sublime voyage through one man’s inveterate misogyny.”
