Fashionable Blogging

And though women and men are creating blogs in roughly equal numbers, many women at the conference were becoming very Katie Couric about their belief that they are not taken as seriously as their male counterparts at, say, Daily Kos, a political blog site.

So, why is this article in the Fashion & Style section, NYTimes? I read the front page. I read the Tech section. I do not head to Fashion & Style unless I’m bored. I’m fashionable and stylish enough for my tastes.

I’m interested in TECH. And BLOGGING.

And I don’t expect to find stories about that in Fashion & Style. Unless they’re about Fashion & Style.

Is there a glass ceiling? You just proved it, NYTimes.

Objects

Excellent post by Twitter/Seesmic friend, Deek Deekster. When will we realize that objectifying women has consequences? Change the object, look at it a different way, and see if your righteousness still stands. Why can't these advertisers try looking at these ads with their perhaps, daughter, in that spotlight? Would they be as quick to defend?

Maybe they should consider what their mothers would think.
