There are feminismS. There are many brands of feminism out there, and your hipster feminism sounds a lot like a new definition of a specific type of practice. I hate it when people accuse a human of being "bad" or "good" -ism because of a single moment, a single opinion. We are all allowed our daily shifts in opinion, or else we are not growing. </p><br /><br /><p>I also hate it when I miss a good fight. I knew there was something going on cause Stephanie made a comment on her blog but I didn't know where to go to find the scuffle. Now I'll have to look, cause I'm terribly curious about people who live in glass houses.</p><br /><br /><p>I would hate it if you were to turn off comments! I rarely read for long a blog that doesn't let people interact-- that's part of the whole point of blogging. Yes, you write for you. But we really love the community that is built around the writing. You can and should delete the jerks who anonymously post snipey things. But I have never seen you not be gracious in your replies to others (or if not gracious, correctly snipey back.) </p><br /><br /><p>I loved the article. I'm glad you wrote it. And the article was NOT about feminism. Guess what folks, LOTS of feminists get married, have relationships (with men and women) and have hearts. It has nothing to do with how devoted you are to a political movement designed to fight for equality for all genders. Read bell hooks "Feminism is for Everybody" if you don't get it.</p> The thing us academic eggheads like to point out is that there is no one FEMINISM. There are feminismS.

As for the radio buttons, I think she pointed out that she was critiquing the New York Times on her blog. So you think that if people don't like the New York Times, they should shut up and push the button? I'm not a fan of the article or the attitudes expressed in it, either, and I think they do give women a bad name, but I won't say anything about this blog because I agree with the radio theory in the case of blogs.</p> Lindsay is a fantastic writer and has quite a following (not to mention a cool writing job) to show for it.
