Last week I got an email in my personal mailbox from a high school debater who found Feministe while researching the Hyde Amendment, who asked, “I have one question: ‘What’s with the toddler with the gun?’ How is that representative of feministe movements?”
I ignored the message, you know, because I have a rather busy non-blogging life, and because if the kid really wanted to know another quick search would reveal that the Feministe banner has been discussed more than once on the blog.
Apparently I made a huge mistake. Today I received this:
I emailed you very nicely and you neglected to respond back. This is a warning email. If you don’t reply I’m going to send another email, asking another question.
And holy shit, I think he might be serious. A WARNING EMAIL? What if he asks another question? What if he asks more than one question? What if other people ALSO HAVE QUESTIONS?
To cover our bases, I figured I should open up the floor to allow all readers and contributors to ask the Feministe bloggers anything. Anything at all! And we will respond promptly, politely, and without haste. We can’t afford to take any chances.
