Feministing Post


The blog site, feministing.com, has a pretty simple layout where its users have little difficulty navigating around the site. A few explicit words jump out at me that make me want to open its link and check what its all about. The site’s symbol is also very interesting. It features what feministing.com believes society views woman as and she is holding up the middle finger to show that she doesn’t really care what anyone else believes. You can also tell that this is a very liberal site, since most of the links, if not about feminism, are about education, social status, and equality. After browsing through a few posts by various authors, I like the fact that the blog not only features issues concerning feminism, as the name of the site suggests, but it also goes over controversial issues regarding race and so fourth. For example, in the post about the racism in the Hunger Games tweets, the author used both pathos and logos to get the reader hooked. She provided real statistics that linked to other trustworthy sites and used meaningful language to help get her point across. She also included the real tweets that were blatantly racist.
