Sexism in the SD dude-o-sphere...

Just some history, while we wait for this to die down:

If you'll recall, the last attempt at a discussion in the SD blogosphere about sexism occurred right around this time last year, when about half of us at Dakota Women were actively supporting Hillary Clinton. The same folks were involved, and we saw the same attempts to deflect criticism and play the victim.

It's simply impossible to have a serious discussion about these issues when that's how folks react. Gee - it's almost like some people don't *want* to engage our thoughts substantively, or talk about the ways that sexism manifests itself in our little blogging world. Imagine that.

It's like the changing of the seasons, except perhaps more predictable...

(Was this shrill?)
