Here I thought people didn't read my blog because I'm a lazy bastard and never update, but it's really because of Men!
An article in the New York Times Fashion & Style section about the BlogHer conference brushes over how woman bloggers aren't taken as seriously as their male counterparts.
Judging from the article, most of the blogs by those woman look like things nobody care about. Sorry, but your vapid, shallow life doesn't make me care about your blog. Four of the blogs mentioned in the article are about stuff that I certainly don't care about in any way, shape, or form. Three of those were about being a mom.
Okay, so you're writing a blog about things no one cares about except maybe other woman or a very small nitch audience and you're complaining about not being taken seriously? Glancing at the top 100 female bloggers list, there seems to be a lot of "mom" related blogs. Looking over the top 5, there seems to be a lot about people's lives. Not really interesting.
I wouldn't take your blog seriously if you had information that was completely wrong right at the top of your page.
We're seeing a flurry of tweets indicating there was an earthquake in San Diego - nothing on the "news" yet - but our very own Erin Kotecki Vest gave us the scoop.The earthquake was in L.A. I knew that yesterday around noon while I was at work. I saw it on the news at work yesterday afternoon. It's now the next day that I'm seeing this information at the top of BlogHer's page. It makes them look like a bunch of idiots. I don't know, but I think you're too dumb to blog if you can't click the edit button. (info removed from BlogHer)
Or saying things that just sound stupid:
The high gas prices may actually work some magic when things are all said and done. If the pain gets great enough perhaps it'll create a willingness to try something new even in environments traditionally reluctant to change such as say the workplace. Now that I see some seriously overweight sedentary people taking the plunge and riding old bikes on errands in my neighborhood (a good thing!) I know radical changes can be possible even in the most stubborn of people.I go to the gym. In a car. It seems just a little mess up to wish for high gas prices just because there are fat, lazy people who supposedly won't work out otherwise. This first paragraph doesn't even have anything to do with the actual article and that is the teaser displayed on the main page. Uh... Okay... The only reason I even looked at the rest of the article is to get the link. I would think the lead-in paragraph would have something to do with the rest of the article.
Maybe if you don't sound like a complete dumbass when you talk, I'll take you seriously.
First of all, does it surpries you one fucking bit that this article–about the business activites of women bloggers–is in the Fashion/Style section of the Times? Cause you know, anything women do is all about fashion and style, it’s not real manly-man shit like business and sports and technology. The Times article about how “blogging can KILL YOU!!11!!!!1!ELEVENTY!1!1!!!!” was in the Technology section of the paper. You know why? Cause the article is about how manly-man Cheeto-huffing bloggers could DIE!!!! from manly-man stress-induced disorders like HEART ATTACKS!!1Q!!1!! Cute little laydeez chit-chatting about blogging and other little cute shit they do on the Internet? Fashion/Style.I guess it's pretty cool that even people with severe mental handicaps can post on blogs too. Oh wait, this person is just dumb! That's sad.
It's the second paragraph and it only gets worse.
