Am I ever instinctively jealous, catty and presumptuous, particularly when it comes to other women? Yes. I cop to that when it happens, and I note when I'm wrong. I could pretend that I'm perfect and never, ever jealous of other women, but that wouldn't help me to learn and grow -- it would just mask the prejudices and allow them to grow stronger. I try to acknowledge and be aware of these thoughts, and how incorrect they are proven to be, so I can learn from my own failures. To me, that's less "faux" than women who pretend to never have thoughts like that.

But you continue to repeat this point, and then go on to say that you rarely admit that someone is smarter than you "let alone a chick." Would you have detailed these same assumptions if Vanessa was a man? It's as if you're portraying the female-bashing and competition that you condemn on your other sites (particularly zelda, of course). I repeatedly see these paradoxes throughout your sites these days. Do you really believe the mission plan behind your sites or is it just faux-feminism, an opportunity to display a holier than thou attitude under the preception that it's actually witty and intelligent. I suggest you reevaluate your sentiments should you still want to be the kind of person you perpetuate to your audience. Obviously you don't have to give a crap about what I think, but you say you're "learning, learning, learning," so...just some food for thought.
