The male gaze: I see it at Larvatus Prodeo
Well, Larvatus Prodeo has a long thread about why there are few Australian women political bloggers.
It is, without doubt, one of the most tedious threads ever to appear on LP. (Even a Tim Train appearance makes no difference.)
I'm feeling cranky today, so may I suggest: maybe it's because the current limited number of Australian women bloggers with overtly political interests come across as humourless and dour commentators who (as a group) span the political and feminist ideological field all the way from A to B? What women would want to join in that jolly crowd?

Be cranky more often, it's more fun that way. :)
Long conversations on sites like LP always, always degenerate into conversations about the conversations that other people are having, and how we should be having this conversation and not that conversation.
Inevitably, the efforts of all commenters involved to be super-tolerant of others ideas and to accept different views descends to bitching and backstabbing anyway. Only the bitching and backstabbing is about pointless 'meta' issues. Kinda like criticising Hitler for a comma-splice.
