Justifying My Depression, Part 389
Monday, April 16, 2007 @ 12:46 PM
A recent search for a feminist perspective on Google yielded more anti-feminist backlash responses than actual feminist responses. On the first page of results, there were 8 anti-feminist articles, one feminist article, and one unrelated.
Is this net neutrality at it's worst, or is this really a fair sampling of our culture? Something to think about. While I fear for humankind.
Update: You think I'm exaggerating (and I hoped I was) but then I read this article about feminists - and women in general - being harrassed, threatened, and stalked because of their gender and politics.

I know what you mean - as a feminist, and a blogger, I find it depressing too. I have a bunch of Google Alerts I receive online, and one of the keywords is "feminism". So very often, the results I get back are about anti-feminism - the misogynist men's movement! :-( I just try to focus on one of the strengths of feminism - the women's movement: solidarity and collective action! Together we go on and change our depression into action. Thanks for your post and the link to that article.
