    To the woman with endometriosis: So I'm 28 and just had a hysterectomy this summer (I had major major fibroids and sex was incredibly painful for years). I don't really have any advice to make it less painful (switch to lots and lots of oral for now?) but I can tell you that even a few months after this surgery, sex finally feels good again.

    It's a tough surgery for many reasons, but you're doing the right thing. And not menstruating anymore? Big win! :-) #potpsychology

    @MilointheMeadow: Wow. Does a hysterectomy actually work for endometriosis? B/c if the uterine lining is growing on other stuff, it will still be there. Did they remove your ovaries, too? I feel so lucky. I have endometriosis and small fibroids, but they never suggested removing my uterus. #potpsychology

    @Faster.Pussycat: I didn't have endo, just abnormally huge fibroids. But my mother suffered from major endo her whole life and finally got a hysterectomy in her 40s. Although her pain is less, there is a lot of remaining scar tissue in her pelvis so she has to deal with all kinds of digestive issues as a result. It's a constant daily struggle for her.

    In my case, my doctors just took out my uterus and left the ovaries so I feel lucky that I'm left with eggs if I ever want kids! Which is not likely, but nice to have the option :-) #potpsychology

    Rich my son just asked me why you have those funny claws. I told him it was your halloween costume. Then he said, "he's like a POLAR BEAR with those claws!!" Apparently this is the most awesome costume a three year old can think of. #potpsychology

    In reply to The Female Blogger Deficit: Are We Too Nice, Or Not Nice Enough?
    When I began blogging in 2002 (early days of blogs), it was an accessory to an online music magazine I was working with - the whole 'lifestyle' aspect. Now, however, I educate and opine on 'living donor issues', which sounds rather benign, but apparently pisses a lot of people off.

    Our society has the erroneous assumption that kicking out a kidney is akin to donating blood, and that the only important thing is 'healing' the sick recipient, even though transplants aren't cures, and the majority of recipients will need multiple donations to achieve a 'normal' life expectancy.

    Ironically, it's living donors themselves who have internalized the idea of being 'heroes' that don't want to hear how the medical community dismisses and abuses them for their $400,000-$500,000 fee. #femalebloggers

    @conspicuouschick: I had no idea how complicated the issue of organ donation was from the pov of a donor (and how worked up some people get over it as well) until I read a recent article about it in the New Yorker. Good for you for educating people on it. #femalebloggers

    Gould: "...the photos that accompanied the essay were of me lying (rather unprovocatively, to my mind) in bed." This is disingenuous. The photo is below. Magazines just don't publish pictures like this of male authors, lying in unmade beds and smiling sensually up at the viewer.

    (I have no personal animosity toward Gould, but I do believe the picture is meant to be provocative and it's fatuous to say otherwise.) #femalebloggers

    "Blog" covers such a broad variety of content that it's really somewhat absurd to attempt to quantify and analyze "blogs" statistically. #femalebloggers

    Why is the combination of women + writing so fraught with drama? Women "jousting" in print is construed as cattiness. Women writing books is a specialized section in the bookstore with its own team color (pink). Women blogging is an invitation to threaten and call her names. Argh. 70 years later, and we haven't come that far from A Room of One's Own. #femalebloggers

    @midwestdesigner: EVERYTHING women do seems fraught with drama, even the shit we are expected to do by the patriarchy (childbirth, childrearing, marriage, etc.). I am not really surprised that the non-patriarchy sanctioned activities attract a buttload of drama either. #femalebloggers

    On the issue of mom bloggers talked about above: I didn't find anything wrong with what Clothier said. I'm not a mother either, but I didn't smell that whiff of unpleasantness that "mommies are special." I think that women definitely do have the concerns over safety that she discusses, and that yes, those issues would be more compounded if the female blogger has children. As long as childcare is primarily women's work in this society, women will have to worry not only about their safety but the safety of their children. And because I do believe we all need to support each other, my heart goes out to those mommy-bloggers in a different way than to non-mommy bloggers. #femalebloggers

    Further reflections on the Mother Jones article: has anyone actually been able to define the difference between social networking and blogging? As is noted, "social networking" is dominated by women and I wonder if there are fewer women bloggers not because women aren't saying as much on the internet but because when women do say things on the internet it is classified as "social networking" rather than "blogging."

    I mean, what's LiveJournal and the various LJ-alikes? I've never seen it as social networking, I don't use it in order to "network socially" I use it to express myself. #femalebloggers

    @samarkand: As far as I can tell, LiveJournal is something some "real" bloggers turn their nose up at. It doesn't count. Or maybe I'm just bitter. :)

    I just checked out LJ's user stats. Of those who gave their gender, 65% are female. #femalebloggers

    The author also seems to be missing the "I'm going to put this bitch in her place" factor that so many bloggers, commenters, ed-op, or otherwise vocal vagina-owners have to deal with. It goes beyond standard trolling into a very Sisyphian battle when everything you say is shot down by a bitter minority simply because they think that having a penis = god-given right to force women to submit.

    I have my own blog, and I can't tell you how stringent I have had to be to keep this type of person from becoming a serious threat.. even though I don't really say much of anything important on said blog. Most of my haters come from following comments I have made on other blogs that they suppose I should be punished for... to my own blog to threaten me on home turf. I can understand why so many women don't want to deal with it, none of us should have to, but in my own way I hope my not-backing-down and defense of my own internet identity will make it easier for others down the line. Fuck the haters, they be hatin'- they ain't shit.. #femalebloggers
