Wow! Powerful stuff. Maybe even more powerful than Sylvia Plath or Adrienne Rich. How conflicted we women are about our lives, our roles, our options, our bodies. We are warriors here, in the everyday brutalities of life, and no one counts the heroes among us.

I am just glad that I didn’t put in the work. The decisions made were arbitrary and ever so slightly irrational imo. Theres a lot to be said about indy-blogging. One controls presentation.

Though I understand your position, I do think the issue needs to be addressed in the mainstream media as well as in Wikipedia.
First of all, Wikipedia editors complain that there are too few women who are willing to contribute and edit the articles. I responded to this complaint a year or two ago by pointing out that contemporary women normally have two jobs: a job for pay and a homemaker’s job. They hence have little time for the sort of volunteer activity that non-working women used to do routinely. So, of course, if the editors are primarily men, they will focus on activities and interests of men.
Secondly, many men are currently tuning into the current wave of feminism, and they seem sympathetic and open to “instruction.” So we shouldn’t give up on finding male supporters among those with influence in the media.
