Thanks!
My last blog was a toughie for me. It's difficult to put yourself out there, to open yourself up to critism especially when it's a subject that you know is going to draw flack. This is the internet, and people don't have to be respectful or kind. But every one of you who commented, and sent me PMs were just that. We may not agree, the the discourse was beneficial. You don't get that very often.
I want to make 2o2p a better community for everyone. You guys know I love it here, and that's why I chose to speak out about it.
If anyone has any questions about my previous blog, PM me. I love to chat. I mentioned it before, but sexism isn't necessarily people saying that women should be at home, pregnant and barefoot (I for one am wearing socks). It happens when women are not longer valued when they are no longer young and hot. It's when SAHM get flack for their choices, just like working Moms. It's when women get the "eye" for not being "good wives" or "good Moms" or "Good girls". It's not when people say that I am wrong or when they yell, scream or curse at me. It's when they say I'm wrong cause I'm a woman. It's when they use my gender as the weapon of choice. And then it gets more subtle from there. Any questions about what I think, lemme know.
If you have ideas of how to make 2o2p better, please, please please let someone know. If you want to, blog it. If you don't want to blog it, PM one of the powers that be. If you really just want to bounce an idea off someone, PM me. If it's good I will steal the idea as my own. (JK of course). Srsly though... 2o2p is a community that depends on community input.
Again... thank you very much, for every comment and every PM. Even (especially) the ones that don't agree with me.
