Feministing Post

The first thing that caught my eye in this blog was the bright purple logo of the woman giving everyone the bird. I am not sure what they are trying to say with this, other than maybe they have had enough of the demoralization of women. Even so, there is definitely a more appropriate logo that cold be used to make the same point. I realize that I am an older guy, and this blog is meant for young females, but this turns me off immediately. It immediately takes away any credibility.  Then, as we scroll further, there is a picture of an Iraqi woman demanding justice for "Trayvorn." Who the hell is Trayvorn? His name was Trayvon. I don't know if this is some different acceptable way of spelling his name...but doubtful. How can anyone take this blog seriously? The plain text on the white background is a very professional choice. Without the inappropriate logo and misspelled words, one could make an argument to use this as a credible source. 
If we were to look at this site just for entertainment, there definitely are no disappointments. The strong language in some of the titles and articles definitely grab one's attention, which is what the site is trying to do. I feel like the pictures could be more attention grabbing. They aren't bad pictures, but it isn't like i look at one and say "Oh my God I need to read this." They don't have problems with inappropriate language, might as well throw in an inappropriate attention grabbing picture.
