Althouse Update
I've been reading "Althouse" ever since she posted about the misogynistic attacks she has received, and wondered why feminists weren't rushing to her defense. She has an eclectic eye, and a witty but somewhat unpleasant tone, though it is no worse than that of many other routinely churlish bloggers. Recently she posted this:
"Before you link to a blog...
...do you look around a while to make sure there isn't a post that depicts an act of violence against you?
Me neither.
Ever link to a blog, maybe even a few times, and then later discover a post that depicts an act of violence against you?
Well, I have."
In comments to the post, she reports:
"...I just had a horrifying experience, and I don't exactly want to link to the blog post in question! I'm sure not trying to connect to the character. I just regret linking to him."
What happened to her is scary. You can go to her blog to read more. So, this feminist noticed, and is waiting to see whether Althouse will link (in a rhetoric manner, not necessarily a linking link way) this episode to some of the abuse other women bloggers receive.
