    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(
    sorry for my approximate english ;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 just moved closer to Royal Oak from there!

    I also love checking my sitestats to see where people are coming from. Then I end up wondering “How did you find me? What do you think? What is it like where you are?”

    Hailing from a moderately sized and moderately uninteresting midwestern U.S. town, Champaign-Urbana, IL. (Though we did have the dubious distinction of appearing on the Daily Show… for our terrible, terrible university mascot that was finally retired. Oh, and the vagina monopoly guy? He’s ours too.)

    It’s great to see the variety of places people are commenting from… I honestly didn’t think it was so diverse. Sweet!

    To the two people in the PRC: I’m probably going to be there next year for language study, how do I still surf the internet? I noticed when I was there over the summer that LJ is verboten. But my dyke message board wasn’t. Hm.

    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.

    Loove this site. I stop by several days.

    Jill I have an idea. Could we have a thread where others could post links to internatiuonal feminist sites? I trust my fellow readers have good taste, and I’d like to read more out of the US bubble.

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. There’s other stuff out there too, I’m sure.
