New essay up at Blogher: "I was going to write a post, at my friend Viviane's urging, about women sex bloggers who are persecuted and their blogs shut down because their frankness offends members of their extended real world community, but I think the real issue we need to talk about is the high price women are made to pay, again and again, both for being sexual and for speaking their mind.

It's not about the blogs, you see, it's about the right for complete self expression. In other words, it's about being silenced."
