Update: Voices too often missing in op-ed land: women's
via mal contends - One of my favorite political sites is WiscOpinion.
But take a look at WiscOpinion and you see a disturbing trend, echoed across the state: Few women writers expressing their political views in blogs.
It's not sexism by WiscOpinion or any other site, it's a lack of women expressing their voices.
Consider another of my favorite sites: Uppity Wisconsin.
I know women writers there, but they write under a pseudomyn, safety being an obvious concern.
There are notable exceptions:
- Milwaukee Rising
- Lost Albatross
- Dane 101
But they are the exceptions. And that's a shame.
Below is WiscOpinion's writers for 7/29/2008; note that some nine-in-ten writers is male.
Not sure what the solution is, but it is most definitely a problem.
