Administrivia: Sidebar Update

 Cleaned up some dead links and changed links on the sidebar.

Administrivia: Sidebar Cleanup

Dumping a few things that no longer work (including, surprisingly, judgybitch.com, Janet Bloomfield's old site; it went dark last year, and is now redirecting to femoid.com. Adding some not-quite-new websites, but things that definitely deserve to be on the list, most of which are in the new section on Biology and Women's Sports.

Administrivia: Comments Don't Work, But Only For Me

No idea why this started, but even after clearing cookies, I can't comment on comment threads.

Some of you may consider this a positive step.

Administrivia: Comment Moderation Mostly Off

Due to the apparent lack of comments around here and the difficulty of dealing with them, I'm going to allow comments on new posts (anything less than two weeks old) without moderation. Enjoy.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all. The blog will be silent on the 25th (ha ha!).

First Post: Introductions

I have been using my baseball blog, the mostly defunct 6-4-2, as a dumping ground for things that should really go elsewhere. Having been burned by such activities previously, I am keeping my political commentary here. I had been using Facebook's Notes feature, but it has a number of disadvantages compared to Blogger, mainly that formatting appears to be very haphazardly maintained, and is extremely buggy (hyperlinks in particular seem to be susceptible to breakage if a post ever gets edited).

About what I plan on posting here: lately, I've been thinking a lot about feminism, and in particular, what is called "third-wave" feminism, or what Christina Hoff Sommers labeled "gender feminism" in her 1995 book, Who Stole Feminism? Also, thoughts on Obamacare, libertarian politics, and occasional dog stuff. The links on the sidebar are incomplete at the moment, and will probably get expanded over time. Comments will be moderated, as I have had problems with this at my other blog(s).

Welcome!
