Anne Applebaum
Sez hi from the
ghetto of chick opinion writers.
Naturally, that whole "editorial pages" flap splashed into the blogosphere, where we had to endure yet another round of mind-numbingly boring discussions of whether females are at a disadvantage in the blogging world. Cassandra calls it "booby counting." She's got that right.

Heh...
I read Applebaum's column yesterday - it was good. Too funny - mind-numbingly boring is exactly the phrase that came to my mind too. Not to describe her column, but the whole !!! oooh...sexism in the whatever!!! "dialogue". Can't we all just quit worrying about each other's fragile egos and get on with life?
Good God...
All this condescending crap really gets in the way, doesn't it?

I seem to remember that the very first time, I found myself vaguely interested. But it seems like this "issue" comes up every 3-6 months, and
1) no one has a definitive idea why there are more males at the "top" in this game;
2) this medium is so young, we have no way of knowing whether or how long that will continue to be the case;
3) so what? It's not like there aren't plenty of underappreciated blogs by men and women. If people want to perform a public service, they'll seek these out, no matter the chromosome-status of the writers behind 'em. Sheesh.
So, yeah. I've got no patience with it these days.

booby counting? They do know we all have just two, right?

I think most het males are, um, right on top of that.

Seems like my husband keeps wanting to count them, though.
WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THAT? We've been married 26 years on Thursday - you'd think the man would be able to remember how many I have by now... men are idiots
