I tend to start up a lot of themed blogs, so hopefully this one has staying power. It's definitely not about subjects I get tired of discussing, so hopefully this'll work out. As we get started, a couple things I'd like to make clear:
- I've never really blogged about feminist issues before, so I'm stating up front that I anticipate possible privilege issues on my part; if and when that happens, please call me on it so I know. (One thing that I'm going to try to discuss at some point is the difficulty in social cues that people with Asperger's syndrome experience, and how that can affect their acknowledgment of privilege, especially considering the fact that people with Asperger's are far more likely to be male).
- I'm a johnny-come-lately on a lot of geek culture, particularly Firefly, Doctor Who and Buffy, so I may talk about them in an annoying noobish way, be forewarned. On the other hand, in the case of properties that I'm more up-to-date on (such as Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Breaking Bad), there may be spoilers, albeit clearly-marked ones.
- I have a few major influences in terms of what I want this blog to be, such as Alyssa Rosenberg, Feminist Frequency and The Mary Sue. If you know of others I should be reading, please let me know.
