Not all women who may want to video blog look like iJustine. But the popularity of iJustine, and many other young female vloggers, conveys the perception that vlogging is mostly for the young, pretty girls, not necessarily for older, geeky-er types like myself. Even though we have much to say and can say it well. <BR/><BR/>I still have to test this hypothesis, but have found it to be true on some level with blogging as well. There's still a whole bunch of nasty sexism out there. And fighting it can be tiring.Tish Grierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657229618222899908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19805669.post-5105168257053925632008-12-28T18:11:00.000-08:002008-12-28T18:11:00.000-08:00Zennie, you're doing a wonderful job with your vid...Zennie, you're doing a wonderful job with your video blog.
