After reattaching my retinas, and wiping away the clutter that collected in my mind from trying to figure out the appeal of Mommy Bloggers, I more deeply explored this estrogen rich environment and the McClintock effect it has on the blogospere, by stopping by the BlogHer website.
For those of you who have no clue what BlogHer is…It is, in their own words, “…the leading participatory news, entertainment and information network for women online.”BlogHer, Inc. says that it helps women who blog to pursue exposure, education, community, and economic empowerment. Blah, blah, blah…Yak, yak, yak…Emote, emote, emote.
Scores of women who blog use, visit, and/or participate in BlogHer in some way. I just don’t get it.
How come women who blog feel the need to have an umbrella, a club, and group that offers them some ambiguous type of support?
I could see it if perhaps there were women who blogged and were alcoholics feeling they needed some type of online support system. They could commiserate with each other and call their group, DrunkHer. But simply women bloggers in general?
Are women so weak that they feel the need to band together? Are they so lacking in self-esteem that they need validation from others who appreciate the joy of a rapidly pulsating dildo?
Evidently so, because BlogHer will be holding their annual conference this year in New York City from August 5-7 at the Hilton New York. Hundreds of women with blog sites and more issues than a magazine stand will be descending on the Big Apple.
There will be sessions involving angst, feelings, passion, and how it affects what women write about and how they express it on their site.
Oh Dear God!! They want to get in touch with their feelings? I’ll be happy to bring a hammer and smack ’em over their collective heads. They’ll feel that real quick. And passion?
What? Are these women not getting enough passion from their husband or boyfriend?

Maybe if instead of wanting to get in touch with their feelings so damn much they could open a bottle of Jack, spread their legs, and let hubby give em’ the high hard one!!
People, oft times women, want to overanalyze and dear God, I hate it when they say this, “process” things. Takin' it up the ass doesn’t take processing, it just takes a well tossed salad, and the willingness to spread them cheeks baby. How’s that for passion?
They do have a writing session titled, "Humor”. The description reads: “Great humor writers care about things as granular and detailed as punctuation. How do some of the writers who make you LOL for realz do it?”
Holy Cow!! Are they for “realz”? Humor in written form requires pacing and emphasis which have to somehow mirror as if it is actually being spoken therefore sometimes ignoring traditional grammar and punctuation…granular or otherwise.
Sounds to me like more processing going on.
Maybe I’ll contact Elisa Camahort over at BlogHer and see if I can conduct a humor writing session at the 2010 BlogHer Conference.
I’ll call the session: I’m Matt-Man, Bitch…and Here's What’s Funny.
Think she’ll go for it? I’ll let you know when and if I hear back from her.
Cheers!!
