Late to the party but stopped by to say that this blog is great! It gives me an interesting viewpoint of current events. And I’d like to request more ‘be a bitch’ posts!

Semi-lurker here. I usually don’t comment because I don’t have anything intelligent to say, and I don’t want to weigh in with an opinion that isn’t thought through properly.

That being said, congradulations! I use Harpyness as one of my main sources of news, because I like my news with witty commentaries.

You guys are great. I don’t say much simply because all the other great contributors on this site usually say it first/better, but I’m here most days and really appreciate the site and everything you guys write. Good work and happy (slightly late) anniversary!

Oh – also – you women are awesome. Thanks for having the motivation, courage, and time to start and maintain this website. I check a couple of times a day to see what’s being written about ‘cuz it keeps my brain from turning to mush.

Keep on keepin’ on.

I like elibard’s suggestion. I am very confident in my feminism, and I’m pretty outspoken about it. But I’m about to embark on raising a son. And I was pretty confident that if I were to have a girl I would be totally able to give her the skills to navigate all the bullshit that women face. But my son? Hmm…I’m less than confident that I’ll know how to frame my rhetoric so that he can be empowered by it.

Is there literature on this? I’ve not seen it…

In the past six months, this has become my go-to website for commentary on feminist issues. I live abroad (in Morocco), so I’ve come to depend on blogs for current events, and I’m always heartened by the thoughtful Harpy posts (and equally thoughtful comments).

I would echo the above request for more international coverage.

Happy half-anniversary! I have been pondering what I’d like to suggest for posts. Generally I enjoy the subject matter here, so instead of content I’d like to suggest a style. I think it would be interesting if the Harpies hosted debates or conversations with other bloggers (or even amongst yourselves). But, then again, I enjoy arguing as an art, so I understand that might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
