Anyway, these two (Mandy and Brittany) may have tried hard, but they definitely missed a lot – by just reading and not consulting with actual people (at least, none that I’ve heard about).

lol, ‘stuff, stuff’ – I just got so tired of reading all that, I’m afraid, so I kinda cheated. You’re welcome to steal it – saves on typing especially when the text is so dry and lengthy. And annoying.

There are, of course, still problems with access and all that (to media, so on) but even the people who *are* guest blogging and/or posting on the large white feminist blogs and involved in that part of the femisphere are not sitting around just waiting to be recognized – they are most all continuing their work outside of that arena, with vibrant and growing groups of their own (or as part of a larger group, whatever).

I not only love your point, I love the way you make it. I’m gonna steal that “stuff, stuff” next time I have a go at something like this.

It is true that almost all of the bloggers referenced in the OP have been building alternatives, ignoring the “big blogs” and making a difference on the ground. There is so much wonderfulness there and the authors of that piece haven’t even scratched the surface. Another major FAIL.
