Women have made all sorts of leaps and bounds over the last half a century, but a panel on media Saturday offered a frank level of discussion about where things have fallen short.
Arianna Huffington noted that when her website, the Huffington Post, started up five years ago, she found that her male friends were far more likely to embrace blogging than women. “Every man I invited said, ‘yes, of course’ and my women friends were really nervous about blogging unless they were journalists,” she said.
She came to conclude that the reason for this is that “women still have a problem with being judged. Much more than men. And anything we write anything we do is going to be judged.”
