Maybe it's just me, but your terribly droll post on getting coffee is indicative of what, exactly? That you enjoy demeaning women? That it's a right hoot to do so? That there is no history of sexism and the systematic oppression of women (you are certainly right, hon', that getting coffee has been a mostly male preserve since the first receptionists--of course all men--were minted, right)? Right. Great job!

Why don't you just earn it?<BR/><BR/>And I just can't get over how you sound like way more of a whiny bitch than any female blogger I've ever come across.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-43368640914284026202008-07-28T11:19:00.000-04:002008-07-28T11:19:00.000-04:001.

I seriously doubt that's why model trains run down model railroads through the basements of America.<BR/><BR/>2. If you want to be a professional writer, fine. But don't whine about your lack of readership on the Internet. There are no barriers in your way there. If large numbers of people don't want to read your blog or pass along links to it, you should spend more time thinking about your writing.<BR/><BR/>3. Most prominent women bloggers that I'm familiar with -- well, they tend to get bored with being prominent bloggers. For them, blogging every day just isn't as worthwhile a pursuit as raising a family, spending time with a husband, writing novels, or luxuriating in having time to brush lint off the couch. This seems perfectly sensible to me. Most professional writers don't spend all day, every day, writing and keeping up with other writers; professional bloggers often do.<BR/><BR/>5. Why would you want the whole world to read your blog, anyway? A lot of female bloggers are either desiring a place to rant that won't be known to their friends and family, or a place to update one's friends and family that will only be known to them. These folks want anything but notoriety, especially if they're posting stories of their kids.<BR/><BR/>If I only had a buck for every time I've run across a blog through a search engine, posted a helpful comment about an interesting post, and found the blog locked the next time I visited....<BR/><BR/>In short, I'm distressed that this conference for women bloggers seems to be totally uninterested in most women bloggers. Only those purposes validated by men or money apparently count as real. It makes you shake your head in disbelief.Bansheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594214770417497135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-57657798597297375172008-07-28T10:24:00.000-04:002008-07-28T10:24:00.000-04:00Name's Weasel.

Women want to 'say loud and say it proud' and they have an audience - a lot of other similarly-minded mundane bloggers. <BR/><BR/>What I find more ridiculous, is that they 'want to be taken seriously' and their conference is touted as a slumber party for grown women, not A CONFERENCE! Conferences with a more male demographic don't market it like a frat party and actively talk about all the beer pong and lap dances they had at the BUSINESS CONFERENCE!

We, and our fathers before us, put that sand there. It’s our fault! You know, because we have testosterone and phalluses and whatnot. And we can't possibly understand how fucking irritating all that sand is to them. So much so that ENTIRE departments at many, many colleges (your tax dollars pay for) are DEVOTED to 'sand in the vagina' study. If you can effectively document the sand in your vagina, a (worthless) master’s degree is yours for the taking. A questionable ‘dude’ with moobs got one from Wesleyan University just the other day.<BR/><BR/>That’s some goddamn diversity right there people.<BR/><BR/>In closing, I think jessica would like the penis burdened among us to gently remove each grain of sand from her vagina with gloved hands and tweezers (don't you dare touch that vagina!). We should, of course, study each grain to understand the discomfort and 'pain' us cock wielders have caused.<BR/><BR/>It would be just. And deserved.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand. There's a reason why they have public showers at the beach. We boys have learned to wash the sand out of our collective ass cracks, and walk the hardship of life with a big ‘ol smile on our face.<BR/><BR/>‘Bout time you catch up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-86505187990416693962008-07-27T13:24:00.000-04:002008-07-27T13:24:00.000-04:00Dear Jessica: This is called "humor."

Hmmm. <BR/><BR/>Funny how it seems there is a NOW, HuffPo, NYTimes and radical women's rights blogging embargo on women of achievement, like, say ... Ashley Force. <BR/><BR/>Ashley admittedly grew up in a drag racing family (that's a car race btw, not dikes on heels) and daughter to one of the sports' most famous champions, But ... why don't you get in an EIGHT THOUSAND horsepower violently shaking beast on fire from gallons of nitro fuel ... and drop the hammer with skill and courage. Launch your thong from zero to over 300 mph in just four seconds. It makes an carrier launch of an F-18 Hornet seem like a kiddie ride. The stress on your vision alone I'm told is terrifying as the blood drains away. <BR/><BR/>Then there's Jennifer Campbell, driving a Monster Truck competitively. 12,000 pounds, six foot tires and every inch a monster to control. And she's making a damn fine living at it. <BR/><BR/>And Susie Stoddart, Scottish woman driver racing in KART, Formula Renault, Formula 3 and currently in DTM for Team Pearson. Very very competitive. And competent. Jennifer Tummeli, CART, Global GT, American LeMans series ... these are women of accomplishment and skill in what has been a man's world. <BR/><BR/>Not a freaking word out of feminist bloggers. Not a peep from HuffingPo. Nothing from the media other than the occasional "Oh, look at the dancing bear" kind of comment. <BR/><BR/>Meanhwile real women ain't talking the smack. They're laying the smack down on hard dangerous professions and doing it with Girl Power. <BR/><BR/>Color me a fan. <BR/><BR/>PS - I'm an old hard bark rancher with callouses on my callouses.
