lizbee | Unpopular feminist blogosphere opinion of the day (Reply)

Man, Sady Doyle is just firing on all two cylinders at the moment.

I mean, I haven't managed to take Tiger Beatdown seriously since either Doyle or one of the guest bloggers unilaterally decided that Patti Smith didn't count as a female rock musician (...because she is insufficiently feminine), but it seems like every time Tiger Beatdown has crossed my radar this year, it's been failtastic. Even when there's a good point to be made, it's lost in the sheer wankery that surrounds it. You can only have one good female character in Harry Potter! Not a single woman likes Moff-era Doctor Who!

I mean, it gets embarrassing after a while. These days I automatically think less of anyone who links to a Doyle or Tiger Beatdown article. Because if nothing else, originality and she are not friends, so you can always find exactly the same point being made by someone else, in a way that isn't completely ridiculous.
