If all the lady-bloggers make half what I make, and all the fellas make double, that’d suit me just fine.

Perhaps she should just claim to be a “male writer trapped in the body of a woman.”

“James” had a choice between fighting the patriarchy and taking care of her family. She made the right choice so far as I’m concerned.

It’s awfully damned easy to excoriate someone for not fighting the War for Wymyn when you’re already living in Fat City (take a look at the list of Favorite Stores in her bio).

Instead of putting on her snark hat, Ms. Well-Paid House Blogger for a Fluff Site might ask herself why Chartrand wrote this article now. I’d suggest that the evidence Chartrand collected is a far more powerful weapon to break any glass ceilings than anything that blogger could have provided.

I’m an actual male blogger, and that hasn’t seemed to make a difference in rolling in the big bucks from blogging (or the lack of rolling in the big bucks, more accurately).

And in my professional, full-time writing career…I don’t believe there is any diff in salaries of female vs. male writers.
