Women's websites are pink ghettoes for the opinions we're permitted to have

While women can speak freely in our designated, secondary space, we remain relatively silenced in mainstream media.

I was going to write something really succinct and captivating in debate but my brain just crashed with that last line. Beep...blurp...fzzzz...

This was written in the online edition of the gaurdian.

On October 2014 the guardian had over 42.6 million readers world wide. It was the 5th most read online news source globally.

This was not written on some poorly xeroxed leaflet handed out at the bus station by a woman afraid of being caught with the materials.

"we're permitted to have...?" Are you fucking crazy?

Edit: typo

No special section --- underrepresentation, suppression
Special section --- a 'ghetto'

But I thought they wanted "safe spaces" without the inconvenience of those pesky men and their different opinions?

So in other words, they want to dominate all mainstream media, silence all dissenting voices, and shut everybody else out of the conversation. Sounds about right.

Similarly, in 2011, a study found only 22% of New York Times op-eds were written by women. The male perspective is the default, and women’s sites relegate the female perspective to a separate arena.

Yes let's select writers based on vagina ownership. The quality of the articles is sure to increase that way.
