It’s amusing to read some people’s reactions to the news that the author of “Underneath Their Robes” (a.k.a. Article III Groupie) is actually a man:

This is terrible. I can’t read that site knowing the author is a man.

. . .

…I also agree that it is now kind of disturbing to now know that the pink cascade, and all the sight-ations, and “super-hottie” remarks came from a dude.

. . .

This could definitely be a joke. A3G goes out of its way to call John Robert’s dimple ‘cute’ and his son a ‘hottie’. I don’t think any straight guy would admit to all of this. I can’t decide if this is really funny or really disturbing…

. . .

Strange and/or disturbing = a knowledge of Prada and Gucci’s fall line of women’s shoes that was just a little too in depth … as well as the aforementioned hottie-isms.

. . .

Masturbating to A3G to cease immediately. Crying Game-esque vomiting to begin… now. I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

. . .

I feel as though I need to take a shower.

. . .

Well, this certainly makes this blog lose most of its appeal… now that there’s a face behind this whole charade, the formerly interesting character has vanished; instead, the author is now revealed to be a snarky, elitist, prestige-hoarding *dude*, none of which is endearing.

What a letdown, and what a massive miscalculation on your part. This blog has clearly jumped the shark.

It’s funny that one commenter assumed that since the author wasn’t a woman, it was a straight man. (Couldn’t possibly be a gay man, eh?) And there are clearly guys out there who are so uncomfortable with their sexuality that they’re disturbed by being cyber-attracted to an anonymous woman who’s turned out to be a man.

Some people still have a whole lot of learning to do.

My favorite comment:

I think the “outing” of A3G reveals more about us men who built up idealized fantasies about her than it does about Lat, who I presume had a few women advising him on the nuances of Prada and Italian undergarments. Kudos to Lat for pulling it off for so long.
