I discovered through Scott that insanely enough my blog got listed on Warren Kinsella’s blog for women bloggers. I followed some of the links and read a post on liberal Catnip’s blog that I think summed it up quite well.

 there are plenty more out there who do not necessarily blog about ‘politics’ per se - reminding me that there are some women who intersperse ‘political’ issues with personal postings (as I do here as well, occasionally). Okay. That would seem to make my task much more vast then. ‘Politics’ is much more than discussions about political parties etc. It is personal.

I think for a lot of women, the two are inter-related. The decisions in politics will affect my family, my life. My vote is made for personal reasons for how something will impact my family and my life. Like all of us, we encounter issues daily that affect us. Sometimes posting about political issues is more challenging than a quick update on life post, because so many thoughts and ideas have to be taken into account. This week thoughts about global warming, Harper’s attack on the environment and the liberals have been prevalent in my mind. Often these posts are in my head and I add to them mentally over time, only to get bogged down with life and then the moment has passed, on to new issues and it’s too late.

And I would also say that Warren Kinsella has unfortunately been very limited in his exposure to female bloggers as there are many, many out there who discuss issues and politics without being “official” political bloggers. Women from a wide range of experiences, backgrounds and situations all contributing their voice from their perspective. I have a slew of them I could add myself, but many are already listed in the offshoots of the pages he lists or that liberal catnip lists.
