Not
having anybody listening to your intellectually rebellious thoughts can cause
serious damage to your brain said my brain...
At
once used blogging as my own way of catharsis ... It works... believe me.. it
really does.
As
blogging has more widespread interest, especially vis-á-vis electoral politics,
feminist activity on the internet has remained marginal to the
mainstream. “Blogging Feminism” continues to explore the wide range of
activity to which young feminists devote themselves. Focal points for the works
included in this issue include gender, cyber-activism, sexuality, race, class
and globalization in the blogosphere and beyond.Feminist blogs serve the
purpose of spreading ideas, sparking debates, raising awareness, discussing
opinions, sharing stories, and virtually spreading the notion of feminism
throughout the Internet.
With
feminist blogging, women can have a voice to speak up about their opinions and
beliefs.This also allows them to openly discuss about their situation with
confidence and can help avoid being seen as silent or submissive. By blogging,
it is seen as an effective method in getting the involvement of others or
getting the attention of politically active people. With women discussing about
events confidently, it allows a community of like minded individuals to
understand what is occurring around the world and how they can get involved
with different issues. With blogging, there is empowerment to make a difference
within governments and international communities by getting involved through
blogging. Feminist blogging is seen as a public activity that allows anyone to
see a situation from a different viewpoint. Unlike traditional forms of media
that discusses situations through a specific view that may appear to be male
influence or avoids discussing about it, the information through feminist blogs
is seen as transparent rather than edited for appeal.
With
feminist blogging, there is an increase in activism. While many critics argue that nothing gets accomplished,
feminist blogging encourages activism. Women use blogging as a method to get
information and understanding of concepts or issues. Feminist blogging allows
an individual who is in a community that does not understand or have much
knowledge of the issues that many women go through. So, it allows individuals
to get the information that many news resources may not cover and allows
individuals to see through a difference perspective gaze. The gaze is not
through a Western perspective, but rather a perspective of women living in that
country with different cultural beliefs than Western societies. With women
blogging about their opinions and hardships they endure, their personal
problems become political and international as well.
Feminist
blogging can be seen as an essential method in the democratization of women
through online activism.
Feminist
blogging allows individuals to understand that activism in the modern era has
changed. It allows individuals to incorporate social issues, such as feminism,
into political activism and, allows for people to discover different forms of
feminist theories.
