Silliness
Body and Soul gets e-mail:
Damn! It’s probably not a good idea to write when I’m this angry, but I have to get this off my chest. I just got an e-mail responding to the post I put up this morning about trying to draw attention to women bloggers. The gentlemen informed me in no uncertain terms that the only reason I get any attention from other bloggers is because I’m a woman. All the people who have linked to things I’ve written have done so only because of some dumb affirmative action ethic.
Silly me. I didn’t even know it was be kind to dumb broads month.
I was sort of vaguely under the impression that I get quite a few links because I work hard to find stories, and facts behind stories, that a lot of other people miss. I thought it might have had something to do with the fact that I’m a fairly decent writer. Apparently not.
Of course not. It’s a well known fact we only link to women to fill our quota, or because they flash some skin. It’s not like you girls would have anything worthwhile to say as politics are far too complicated to worrry your pretty little heads about. Just blog about knitting or fluffy kittens.
WOMEN: KNOW YOUR LIMITS!
