[...] on the Internet, when the voices of many women are dismissed as endearing, cute and girly, and when the voices of those women who are most oppressed are ignored altogether, that gender gap is perpetuated. Thank you, Margaret, for proving your own point about how hard it [...]

Thanks for putting into words something that I’ve been trying, and unable, to articulate for some time now.

I stumbled on your blog today by way of a FB friend who posted a link, whew! and wow, I’m so very thrilled to have found you. I’ve been reading over the last hour and nothing you’ve said I’ve disagreed with, and more, so much of what you’ve written explores the many fragments of thought I’ve had bouncing around in my skull for far to long and it’s so good to see someone has put words (and what words!) to them. I don’t have any idea where I fit in as a blogger, but I think your thoughts on this topic are so spot on. In no way am I going to articulate just how excited I am to find your blog. Just know that I am!

Hi there, Twitter friend! Thank you for your article. I could not stop myself from giving my 2 cents as well.

I guess I’d only say to The Nerd that the NY Times article is making every mommy blog sound like “those sorts” — the vapid, obnoxious sorts. I like plenty of traditional mommy blogs that bring worthy voices to the table, and I like plenty of non-traditional ones (such as Raising My Boychick), too. I don’t read any blogs that I don’t find genuine and that don’t have something to speak into my life, but I find a wide range of ones that manage both.

Ugh. I can’t stomach those sorts of “mommy blogs”. I find that their lifestyle is something I’ve only read about in books, never experienced in my life. I mainly read this blog and a few science-based parenting blogs (such as Science-Based Parenting, written by a group of skeptics including an at-home father). I’m glad you write about your perspectives on life – it is very meaningful to me.

MM they also seem to be letting out the non-American mom bloggers (or not Canadian).
I completely agree with what you are saying. I don’t necessarily see something inherently wrong in being smeared, at least you are being regarded.
