Feministing


When I first went to this blog the first article, I guess you could call it, was the “what we’ve missed” and at first it really confused me because I thought it was supposed to one big article on one topic. Because of this my first impression of the site was not to great, I thought it was disorganized and confusing but then after scrolling down farther I caught on and understood what was going on at the very beginning. After that I noticed how bland the site was which could make someone think that whoever is running the site doesn’t have time to make it look nice and modern and not like it was from the 90’s. While there wasn’t much presentation it showed to some extent that the blogger cares more for the articles than the presentation, which is another way to see the blandness.

                After that I noticed how wide spread the stories were on the site. While some articles covered what one might expect to cover in a feminist blog such as rape and gender inequality it also covered articles that were pertinent to women in general. When people think of the stereotype of a feminist they would envision the creator of this site to be all about getting more power and hating men but in fact this site gives the audience the notion that they care about more than power. They post about issues relating to the gay community, hot news stories, and general ways of living better. But the thing that most gives them authority is how they present feminism as something a man can be involved in and still be a normal man in society if not a better one.
