When Business Gets Personal: Is blogging any job for a woman? (My latest at PJMedia)

May 2, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

women bloggingA brief post from methat’s more of a conversation starter — have fun in the comments!

Of course, those hazards dog male bloggers, too. But in my experience, women get judged more harshly for stating their opinions.

Come on: Is Ann Coulter really more heartless and obnoxious than P.J. O’Rourke? Yet who gets attacked on campuses?

Does Glenn Reynolds get rape threats, or is that just Dana Loesch (and me)?

Another Forbes columnist, Susannah Breslin, argues that being frank and female doesn’t have to be a career-ender any longer.

Breslin, whose old sex blog was called “Reverse Cowgirl,” is now, well, writing for Forbes.

In the era of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, is Breslin onto something — or does writing about/participating in sex earn women the kind of “hall pass” that delving into politics never will?
