When I first started reading Farhad's pieces on Salon, I assumed that he was a man. A few months ago, however, he posted something in Broadsheet. Since Broadsheet is, ostensibly, the Women's Blog, I figured that I must of been mistaken, that Farhad was a woman, and reconfigured my mental image accordingly. Now, just when I was getting used to that idea, comes this post, in which Farhad identifies himself as a man, thus throwing my mental image of this person into further confusion.
Why are men posting on the Women's Blog? Is it truly a Women's Blog if men are contributing?
