Feministe All Over The World

(I moved this up because it’s a fun meme).

Sitemeter has this nifty little function where we can look and see where our last 100 visitors came from. I´m pretty impressed that Feministe readers come from all over. In the past hour, we´ve had people from Spain, Australia, Finland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, the UK, Sarajevo, Sweden, Dubai, Italy, Egypt, Norway, the Netherlands, France, Albania, Japan, Quebec, Lithuania, Vietnam, Switzerland, and of course Canada and the U.S. We´re apparently especially popular with the Germans (and most of the visits are from cities other than Hamburg, so I know it´s not just me), the Dutch and the Swedes, and, less surprisingly, with people in countries where English is the dominant language (Australia, the UK, New Zealand, Canada, the US). It’s also interesting to see how our visitor dynamics change with the time of day.

It was fun to see where you´re all coming from. And it was a good reminder that I need to take a more international focus when blogging.

So, for those of you who are reading this post — where are you from, and/or where do you live?

Although this is in the About Jill section, I am from Seattle, I make my permanent residence in New York, and I am currently living in Hamburg, Germany. All three are fabulous places.

    I’m from Dublin, in Ireland, and I’ve lived here all my life (unless spending summers working in Boston and Berlin as a student counts, which it doesn’t, really). So unadventurous!

    I’m an American living in in the PRC (as of a month ago! Before that, Oregon). But I doubt I show up with a Chinese IP address in your logs–nor will any other readers in mainland China. I use an anonymizer to surf the web here, since the government’s firewall apparently deems Feministe subversive–along with the BBC, blogspot, livejournal, and icanhascheezeburger.com, apparently, so you can decide how you feel about that!

    I’m a Spaniard. Piny! Are you by any chance still here? And when are you coming, Jill? I’d love to buy you people one or more beers. Well, if you’re coming from Germany, it would have to be wine.

    By the way, Jill, I enjoy reading about your European experience. (Piny’s may not have been wonderful, I’m afraid.) I loved the photos from Portugal.

    Keep up the good work, you writers of this great community.

    London, UK, here. I can’t compete with the many Feministers who live in fascinating far-flung countries (But I was born in the then Yugoslavia) in terms of coolness :D

    I think it’s very interesting to think that all the comments might be coming from people whi have been exposed to different conditions, and so might have different prespectives. And yes, I’d love more international stuff, though being aware the site is mostly focused towards the US, I don’t mind the American stuff at all. In fact, it was reading primarily American blogs that taught me a lot more about the reality of the world’s most powerful country, and how it affects us all.

    Geez, I’ve written an essay…

    The Netherlands. You’re firmly in my daily rounds.

    Accidentally, there are no feminist blogs in Dutch (or I have yet to find them), while public discussion on feminism and emancipation is livelier in this country than it has been for ages. So I come here for some much-needed perspective – and when I’ve just waded through heaps of comments elsewhere that make my blood boil, and feel soiled. :-)

    I’m from Paris in France. I looked for “feminist blogs” via google recently and that’s how I came accross your blog and visit you regularly since that. Yesterday I read your article on prostitution and rape … terrible ! We have had a “similar” case in France but the police force were convicted for rape, one of them just said that for him forcing a prostitute (raping her in other words) was just in his mind like “having a sandwich for free” :o(

    Boston.

    I love that sitemeter function. I had this picture of Hooters waitresses for awhile on my site (after my boyfriend and I went to one for the first time on a vacation in FL), and eventually pulled it down cuz I hated how it was generating traffic. Lots of wee hour linking from Asia and elsewhere, it seemed in my own informal tracking!

    I’m finally getting in touch with my inner feminist, at the ripe old age of 38 (better late than never!), but there isn’t a lot of NZ-based feminist blogging, so I’m reading my way around the world.

    Your site is one of my regular stops :)

The only problem is that it slows things down a bit. anonymouse.org is good too if you don’t want to download software, but I got tired of their pop-ups and couldn’t use it to log in to anything.

    London, England here. Though I did some very, very long-distance traveling this summer!

    Lawrence, KS is my current home, and I’ve lived a number of other places, including southwest Germany (Stuttgart/Vaihingen). I say I’m from Jonesboro, Arkansas, because I spent most of my growing-up years there.

    Another Bay Area Californian, but I’ll be moving to Prague (Cz not the US version) for a while next year with any luck. For some reason, I thought there would be a lot more No. Cals on here!

    Well I live in Brisbane, so you’re lucky I’m only a few days late and not talking about how much I love the X-files and Milli Vanilli. Greetings from the sunny sub-tropics, and hello to everyone in my hometown Melbourne (which is only stuck in the early 00s, I think). And I for one would love to see more international stories and bloggers.
