I read through my post about how the blogosphere is new feminist ground and realized that it could be read as though I had a disdain for young blonde women who blog about fashion and such issues. Which I assure you, I have absolutely none.

My point was only that usually when mainstream media reports about women and blogging, they seem to focus on the fashion bloggers (who can be both well-written and fun to read, although I’m not a regular visitor to their sites), whereas other subjects are often disregarded. Which is how mainstream media works. Which is why blogs are good.

So, no offense to fashion bloggers out there. The internets are big enough for all of us, and there is certainly no need to erect a wall between “fashion bloggers” and “political bloggers” - there can be dialog, critical examination on both sides, and learning from each other.
