Mallory I couldn't agree more, and to be honest that your a women or a man should be totally irrelevant. To Elisa, its not threatening, its stupid. Paul hits it on the head "Self segregation is segregation, no matter what your ‘cause’ is." And yes, the blogosphere is a "meritocracy". Got to admit, haven't heard that word before but I'm loving it. My post Blog-Her list is to use this word a will and as often as I can :-) N. Mallory

As I am a woman of Scottish/Irish descent, I find it interesting to think there's so much hubub about discrimination on the net when we really don't know who's on the other side of that internet connection...and really who cares who you are anyway? Isn't blogging supposed to be about expressing ourselves?

Here is my post on the Myth of Meritocracy that expresses some surprise at the naivete of people who thing the blog community is any different than other industries when it comes to advancement. Community and networking help people in this community too. I'm not sure why that is a threatening concept: http://workerbeesblog.blogspot.com/2005/08/myth-of-meritocracy.html The men who attended BlogHer got as much value from meeting and networking and learning as the women did. Read their posts. BlogHer is a community that’s open to anyone, as is the ad network.

Blogging, IMHO, is the great equalizer online. It allows - no - enables people to be heard. People. Regardless of who they are, where they live, who they know... whatever. You all get the message. Blogher is not a step forward for women, it's a step back for the blogosphere. Are you a blogger? Do you have a voice? Is what you write worth reading? My web designer is a blogger and an amazing person. She (<a>Teli</a>) is also a woman. A contributing writer for one of my blogs is a woman. They will undoubtedly surpass me in fame and fortune sooner than later. Why? Because they're women? No. They'll do it because they're great at what they do and for no other reason. Anything else would be unacceptable to them. That's why. Self segregation is segregation, no matter what your 'cause' is. Ok, 3rd comment for today, and probably the one that opens my jugular…

Self segregation is segregation, no matter what your ’cause’ is.
