"Women good, men bad."
Ah, the utter tragedy, and injustice, of Nature, of biology--and of the girl and boy thing. Where will it all end? "Where Are All the Female Law Bloggers?" has been getting lots of press--but we can't figure out why. The best, brightest and strongest bloggers--and writers, speakers, corporate lawyers, business owners, actors, humans, etc.--we know are "females" and regularly trounce us "dudes" in most endeavors in work and life. And there's a lot of these creatures. The author of the piece, obviously talented and well-meaning but trying to set the women's movement back about 40 years, is invited to impress us all in the future with a better choice of topics.
UPDATE: Some serious and comprehensive coverage by our betters and friends: Simple Justice, Legal Blog Watch, Diane Levin (all with links to dames who blog).
Ms. Gish is one of many "females" in the WAC? Pantheon. Gish is said to avoid whiners and weenies.

It's official: Blawg Review, and legal blogging, have arrived.
Today I'm in hard-working heavily-German southwestern Ohio, where it's always German-American day. And this morning from Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate--the area thousands of west Germans (including a few Hohl families) left for America in the 17th and 18th centuries, and where more than a few global law firms have business clients--Andis Kaulins at Law Pundit gives us his Blawg Review #180 , a truly international and immediately useful tour of this morning's odd world. Bravo, sir.
Since we began in 2005, WAC? has wanted insular North American and European businesses and their advisors to compare notes. Mr Kaulins' Blawg Review #180 is a good place to start. Please do not miss the list of German transatlantic organizations at the conclusion of #180. Clearly, the now-global Blawg Review has arrived.
