I'll just give you a gut-check. When I saw the girly blog I felt instant disapointment. Tried to figure out what else it felt like. It felt like watching the current administration posture, chests all puffed up, as they waved our 2000 off to war with "cheeky" patriotism.
When I feel, not just see, the way girls and women are manifesting in the media [even wrote Salon once to (sigh) ask them to stop describing what Condi Rice was WEARING in an article in which none of the powerful males' clothing was mentioned...(sigggghhhh)]--feel's like backsliding. Trivializing by way of sexual segregation.
The "fashionista" design is alienating. Then again, I was also stunned by reading the words "Mothers Who Think" when I first discovered Salon.
Most of which I love so much that I devour it daily. Oh yeah, being humorous. I'd rather laugh than breathe and adore men. Just not feeling giggly at the moment.
