I normally hate women-centric websites (Reply to this comment)
by Teardrop...
...because, whether it be an investing site or a career site, it always ends up telling me better ways to exfoliate or other useless things. For example:
http://investingforwomen.com/ "We've added a new store to improve your shopping experience at our Investment Gift Shop. Unique tee shirts with fun and sassy phrases!!"
The TechnoDyke site is refreshing and has the caliber of good ideas and writing that women's magazines seem to have abandoned for glossy fashion pieces. Are we that shallow of a market?

Judy: This is the third time I've replied to your comment, but the danged thing just keeps disappearing after a day or so.
Thanks so much for the compliment -- and for the empathy.
You're right about the double-edged sword. But in another way, hateful sites like the one you mention are useful: They expose the true evil in this world and give it a face and a name.
Thanks again -- Kristin

Sorry for the delay in getting to your write-off entry, but I'm only now catching up after a two week vaca at the start of June.

You've Put Another Feather. . . (Reply to this comment)
by nobody_knows
in my education hat. Thank you so much.
Kristin, this is an outstanding review of a website I had not heard of until today. It sounds funny, warm and wonderful. How sad that you didn't have something like this to turn to in your teens.
The web really is a double-edged sword - compare this site to the one Sordid_1 describes. But that's the nature of the beast, you can't have the good without the bad. Thank heaven for the good!
I really enjoyed reading this!

Thanks so much! I really do hope your friends enjoy the site. I want people to go there and find a home, and then support the place so we can all stay...
I appreciate your reading this and passing it along, flaming hetero or not. Ha! -- Kristin

Good editorial (Reply to this comment)
by sele
Thanks for this editorial. I'm not lesbian or bi, in fact, some call me a flaming hetero. hehe However, I can certainly understand a need to talk with others who share like interests or sexual orientations. Folks won't feel so alone, once they find out they're not all that unique. It's always good to feel supported by understanding friends. I have several friends who will enjoy the site you speak of, so am sending them there. Thanks so much for a good editorial. .....sele

Well, I'd grant you honorary TechnoDyke status. I mean, the site is pretty darned inclusive! (Ha!)
Thanks for the comment. Sexuality is so fluid -- and orientation isn't all about sex -- and all that can be pretty confusing. I can identify with your own experience.
Looking forward to reading yours... Kristin

"If you love women and know how to turn on a computer, you're probably a TechnoDyke."
Uh ... I'm pretty sure she didn't mean me. Maybe she should amend it to "If you're a woman who loves women ..."
But I'm nit-picking, of course. It is nice to know there's an accepting place out there for women who fit in different places along the spectrum, for exactly the reasons you state. When I was in grad school, my girlfriend was someone who had only ever dated women, and she was president of the campus LGBT organization. As is frequently the case, the "B" part wasn't quite as accepted as the "LB&T" and we had to keep our relationship, for the most part, in the closet. Wierd thing that. In any case, aside from the politics of it all, I know she struggled with her own identity/preference issues, and I think it would have been nice for her to have a place like this to go to. Alas, the web wasn't what it is now.
Anyway, great review here. Well worth the wait.
