Thanks, MRain65 (I only just remembered I’d commented here and came back to look). I’ll check it out at some point. I generally deliberately stay away from TWOP but I’ll look for this thread.

Helen:

If you go to Televisionwithoutpity.com, the Battlestar Galactica general forum has a thread entitled “Gender and Battlestar Galactica.” It has some interesting, thought-provoking commentary. (The mods at TWOP rule with an iron fist, so the level of discussion is pretty high.)

I’m right behind the idea of feminist analysis of Battlestar Galactica, if it’s watched by any blog-contributors. I can’t figure out if it’s progressive or just has the appearance of it (love the show, regardless).

Count me in as one who loves the link farms but simultaneously curses when one shows up because I know I’ll be glued to the computer for some time ;-)

I’m also a fan of your link farms, and prefer them smashed together into one big post, rather than scattered with a few lines apiece.

I like the link farm posts, and the current style you use for them.

Amp, I love your link farms. Keep up the good work!

Also, these damn intriguing comments threads. All of a sudden I’m stuck reloading every 15 minutes to see if someone said something when I should be grading papers. And yes, this is all your fault.

Don’t, whatever you do, look at the righthand column of this page. If by chance you do look at it, pay no attention to the fact that some of the names are clickable links. If, (God help you) you do notice that they are clickable links, don’t ever, ever, click on them.

Damn your link-farm posts!!! Damn them!!! I can barely get enough time to get any work done as it is without you giving me a ton of stuff that are interesting to read!

I was struck by the following post on fetal pain, from a doctor’s blog called Red State Moron. That a guy who links seriously to Protein Wisdom is reluctant to support legislature that would force a doctor to tell his patients that a fetus experiences pain after 20 weeks, only expresses how very thin the evidence is for the wingnut position:

Fetal pain, 2

This may be a bit circular, but Ann Bartow’s presence reminded me of this post about women’s representation in a NYPL panel. Mentions your racism post, too.

Shelly of Burningbird has written a lot about gender-representation in tech

Arrgh, the link in #8 works, sorry about goofing up the previous one.

I enjoy your blog enormously regardless of how you do it.

If I’m allowed to self-promote*, I’d love more attention to my week of posts on female sexual dysfunctions. Considering it was partly inspired by something else in your blog, I’d love to spread the word about FSD to a wider readership.

*BTW, any other women feel self-conscious about trumpetting your own abilities, like it’s somehow unseemly to brag? A sense that if your accomplishments are any good, they should stand on their own merits and you shouldn’t need to point them out? Is it just me or a general girl thing? That causes me so much problems when jobhunting…

Personally, I would enjoy reading some feminist analysis of Battlestar Galactica similar to the feminist analyses of Buffy and Angel you used to post.

Of course, if you’re not watching Battlestar Galactica, I can understand how that might make it difficult.

One of my former co-bloggers, Bean, wrote this post a couple of years ago. However, I’m not likely to write about mail order brides, simply because I don’t know much about the subject.
