Blogging While Female

From Wing Nut News (er I mean Right Wing News), we get a feature of “hot female conservative bloggers” or something like that (ok, the title doesn’t include “hot” but given that they ask about why and whether the women post photos of themselves on their blogs, I think its implicit). The post includes short interviews with some of the most widely-read conservative female bloggers. And there are some doozies.

My favorite comes by way of Amanda Carpenter (she of TownHall and Hillary-hating). She says:

You have any opinion of the feminist, liberal blogs out there?

Well, they’re some of the ones that are the most hateful. If you look at the language that’s used on those…it’s just incredibly base. It’s this whole feminist thing where it’s empowering to use foul language, to do the lowcut shirts, and act sleazy — and I don’t just mean that just sexually, I mean intellectually as well…

Riiight. So we are hateful, slutty, and masculine (that’s obviously what the “foul language” thing is about). I have to admit that I’m a little confused by this list of intended insults. Others quoted poo-poo the ERA because “I am already equal,” and claim that “being a girl” helps one be taken more seriously in the conservative movement. When I read that one, the coffee almost shot out of my nose.
