In this week's gabfest, DoubleX's Jessica Grose and Hanna Rosin, along with The New Yorker's Margaret Talbot, discuss a new study that claims young single women are out-earning their male counterparts, the fracas over Jonathan Franzen's new book, Freedom, and the gender balance of book review coverage (dubbed " franzenfreude") and Jenny Slate's exit from the cast of Saturday Night Live.

The DoubleX Gabfest weekly "coffee talk" endorsements:

Hanna Rosin: Jeffery Goldberg's article about his trip to a dolphin show with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, via TheAtlantic.com. If you read one article about communists and marine mammals, it should be this one.
