Something about the tone of this article, in which two male economists criticize the arguments of a female treasury under secretary, immediately rubbed me the wrong way. One thing that kept jumping out at me was the use of "Ms. Miller." Would a male undersecretary be referred to as "Mr. ____" in this sort of article? I wasn't sure if maybe it was just because of the direct approach of this article (whereas a reporter speaking in a distant third person might just say "Miller")

Use of titles is mandatory per NYT style guide.

Well I really dislike it in any case. It sounds vaguely condescending.

Like "Ms. Miller" doesn't make me think of a treasury undersecretary, it makes me think of a student in an econ seminar or something.

Would you find it condescending if it was "Mr Miller"? Not being snarky here, just throwing it out.

If you go to Wikipedia's page for American Novelists, you might notice something strange: Of the first 100 authors listed, only a small handful of them are women. You could potentially blame this on the fact that there simply are more famous male authors than there are female (a-whole-nother can of worms), but the real reasoning is much more intentional. Wikipedia editors have slowly been moving female authors to a subcategory called American Women Novelists so that the original list isn't at risk of "becoming too large."

most blogging "conferences" whether involving "mommies" or not are glorified marketing events.. Blogging is only a job for like .00001% of people who do it. That photo is o_O but I'm not really sympathetic to complaints about wanting to be taken more seriously as a blogger.

I mean, the tone of the WSJ piece looks a little insulting too. But let's face it, that's what these conferences really are for most attendees -- a vacation. It's like going to SXSW as an amateur musician -- it's related to your craft, but it's mostly just a good time.

Laurie Penny could've been a bit less rambling, she might not have been talked over so much. But at least she gets in a decent fairly snappy final point re: feminism not just being about liberating women.
