One of the biggest drawbacks of most of the blogs out there is that they simply reinforce one main viewpoint. And generally anyone who comments with a strikingly alternative argument is quickly labeled a "troll" and sent on their way. Providing this forum where women with a variety of views can interact will, I believe, help women to feel a part of the political system which so often ignores us. And hopefully that feeling of engagement will translate into further involvement in politics at all levels -- from neighborhood associations on up. Thank you for taking the helm on this, Catherine!
