  1. ” I think the women are there. I think what we see is a focus on topics that tend to be more male-dominated, so we don’t get as much coverage. Men blog more about politics. Politics are more likely to get picked up by the media. Technology has always been male-dominated. So there’s this sort of echo chamber.

    But there’s knitting, this family, these topics that have been relegated to being sub-par blogging, which I disagree with completely….”

    Fuck. Sorry for the language but…fuck.

  2. Well, it would help if us female bloggers would learn how to use computers and stop having our husbands type our posts for us. Becuase we, of course, all have husbands!

  3. You women folk really ought to try out this “blogging” thing sometime. It’s a real hoot! Of course, I’m being insensitive. You gals can’t blog because you’re too busy cooking, taking care of babies, and shopping.

  4. I kinda stopped reading after the first knitting reference. I figured I didn’t need to read further. Judging from the comments here, I was probably right.

  6. Calling All Angels

    a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
    and high above the church bells start to ring
    and as the heaviness the body oh the heaviness settles in
    somewhere you can hear a mother sing

    then it’s one foot then the other as you step out onto the road
    how much weight? how much weight?
    then it’s how long? and how far?
    and how many times before it’s too late?

    calling all angels
    calling all angels
    walk me through this one
    don’t leave me alone
    calling all angels
    calling all angels
    we’re cryin’ and we’re hurtin’
    and we’re not sure why…

    and every day you gaze upon the sunset
    with such love and intensity
    it’s almost…it’s almost as if
    if you could only crack the code
    then you’d finally understand what this all means

    but if you could…do you think you would
    trade in all the pain and suffering?
    ah, but then you’d miss
    the beauty of the light upon this earth
    and the sweetness of the leaving

    calling all angels
    calling all angels
    walk me through this one
    don’t leave me alone
    callin’ all angels
    callin’ all angels
    we’re tryin’
    we’re hopin’
    we’re hurtin’
    we’re lovin’
    we’re cryin’
    we’re callin’
    ’cause we’re not sure how this goes
