Livin' in a pink ghetto

[perlmonger]

It seems that LiveJournal is a low class, trivial and contemptible place to host one's blog - read bradhicks on the subject here. That is, of course, if you regard the profound, intelligent discourse on Slashdot as being more important than trivial, girlish postings like misia's on the unspeakably evil murder of Jasmine Archie by her mother.

But I guess that the death of a twelve-year old girl in Alabama (just like the death of at least 219 women every day as a result of illegal, unsafe abortions) is trivial, as it only concerns women, and immoral, un-Christian women at that.

If I had a shred of male dignity and moral integrity, I'd close down my contribution to this stinking, woman-loving, liberal den of trivia right away and set up a Proper Blog elsewhere; trouble is, I'm just too corrupt and feminised to do it.

Ho hum.

Well, quite.

I keep a MT installation because when I first wanted to have a crack at a mobile/picture/weblog (I can't stand the term 'blog' and 'moblog' is worse), there wasn't anything else out there that looked like a useful thing.

The feeling of running that is as described in the comments to Mr Hicks' posting - there is no audience.

LJ's alleged female domination is a Good Thing.

Yah; danah speaks a lot of sense on this subject (as, indeed, she does on most)
