blog evaluation

For my blog evaluation, a chose a blog called Finally, A Feminism 101 Blog. The purpose of this blog is to answer reader’s questions on feminism and help to clarify some common misconceptions or confusing aspects of feminist theory. I think that the blog does a good job of answering questions and providing basic information, but does come off a little arrogant in the introduction when the authors mention that this is a place for comments that would normally be disruptive on a feminist blog. I think that this might turn some readers away, specifically ones who actually are curious about feminism and feminist theory. I think that while basic questions on a more advanced blog may be disruptive, there are nicer ways to put it in the introduction, instead of making the reader feel like they have done something wrong by asking questions about feminism. I found this blog to be extremely interesting even though I am probably not the blogs indented audience, which would probably be people who do not identify as a feminist and would like to learn more about feminism for their own personal lives or in order to further understand women’s issues and gender inequality. As a women’s studies major, I liked this blog because it gave me an idea of what some people unfamiliar with feminism may want to know or different misunderstandings that people may have surrounding feminist theory.
