Via “Elayne Riggs”:http://elayneriggs.blogspot.com/2005/03/estrogen-month-day-14-welcome-any-new.html comes Tild~’s “She-Blogger”:http://tildblog.blogspot.com/2005/03/return-of-she-blogger.html. Enslaved to the conventional wisdom, constantly whoring for attention and desperate for validation by the polite society they affect to despise, these sad creatu– I’m sorry, those are the He-Bloggers. That should have read, Sharp-tongued, lurking in the shadows and heedless of their proper place in life, these slatterns tempt innocent young boy-bloggers to “subvert the dominant link hierarchy”:http://www.google.com/search?q=subvert+the+dominant+link+hierarchy. Disgusting. Yet strangely alluring.

Lots of people were listing female political bloggers recently, I think as a nod to Women’s History Month.

Clearly what’s most important is that people return to the original idea, spirit, and most of all, targets, of the start of Subverting The Dominant Link Hierarchy

Ana Marie Cox demonstrates that She-Bloggers are every bit as capable of slaving themselves to the conventional wisdom, constantly whoring for attention, and desperately seeking validation from the polite society they affect to despise as He-Bloggers. There are at least as many female Instapundits as there are female Yglesiases, and I’ll not have you perpetuate the patriarchy’s dominant gender narrative by implying otherwise!

Gary, you are so very right.
May I quote you?
Hey, I want to submit a new Blogging Cultural Practice suggestion to the powers that be – how about Technorati “ContractWithReaders” and “Disclosure” tags, so that those who believed in sharing such info could make it clear, and those who didn’t would (by not using them) make _that_ clear. It would make patterns a lot more quantifiable.
Maybe a set of “about this blog” tags- the above plus comments/not, supported/not
And also, maybe, some way to tag a link to say “all I’m doing is linking and quoting you, so don’t bother visiting to see what I said because I didn’t”
(Off topic I guess. Must take to Technorati…)

“Gary, you are so very right.

To make an original response: Indeed.

Um, anything like what I’ve been doing at the end of every appropriate entry for more than three years?

Hey, hum. Have you been playing around with the new installation? I haven’t had a Bloglines feed update since this post…

“Um, anything like what I’ve been doing at the end of every appropriate entry for more than three years?”
Yours is for the benefit of the reader. What I need is something to prevent wasting the time/energy of the original writers, who would like to see what others said about their work.
