Re: [videoblogging] Sick of the sexism

[Charles HOPE]

Yup. The characterization of women as objects of visual attraction and men as ugly and "simple" instruments of production -- very annoying, but all too common. But is the vlogosphere worse than anywhere else? Brittany Shoot wrote: I'm pretty angry, but please take this in the spirit in which it is intended. I made a video about how the sexist comments on this listserv made me feel. It's not all in fun, and having just joined the list after resisting for months, I know why I was warned not to bother with this "conversation" at all. I'll keep my subscription, but I'll probably go back to deleting all of the messages. Thanks to one like-minded female who emailed me to alert me to today's dose of bullshit. Go watch this: http://modernfeminist.blogspot.com/2006/05/sexism-in-vlogosphere.html And thank you to all of the men and women who tried to put a stop to all of this. It mostly amazes me what will be said when you know countless people will read these emails...but I guess if you're so unaware that you're being sexist, you may not care. See you at VloggerCon, where I'll be discussing inclusion in the vlogosphere...or lack thereof. Brittany http://bshoot.blogspot.com http://modernfeminist.blogspot.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
