Blog Sisters: Where men can link, but they can't touchhttp://blogsisters.blogspot.com [Blog Sisters: Where men can link, but they can't touch] To take writing like I've done over this last week on the topic of male-only and nearly-only conferences, and to dumb it down to my post about getting your ass on Skype, does me a disservice. And I've worked too hard and am too long in this field to be done a disservice without speaking up about it.

http://sourduck.blogspot.com  Sour Duck: feminist talk online brings together (sometimes successfully), feminists at all stages of their emotional development to talk about the functionality of rage, guilt, community, separatism, and education. It can be just the thing to shake someone up and make them see what it would feel like to breathe all the way in, for the first time since she was a little child, even if that first wonderful breath comes with the anger of having been denied it so long."With all the conflicts and online debates that arise from the sheer complexity of feminism, it's good to be reminded of this simple truth: online feminist communities do a lot of good.

http://blogher.org  BlogHer | Where the women bloggers are: The danger of the "IM meme", if it catches on, is that it can provide conference organizers with a ready excuse when they don't reach out to women for industry opportunities. "Well you weren't available on Skype, so you weren't around to network with us." Then Conference Organizer Guy can still be viewed as Nice Guy in the eyes of his peers and a wider audience.

Anne 2.0: t any conference tables or projection devices set up, no stashes of snacks and soda for long strategy sessions”¦ but I still wasn’t convinced. They probably cleared it all out before the party just in case any women had the same idea I did! (via Cosmos)
