ladies and gentlemen, how do you feel about this?

nostrich: the majority of popular girls on the internet are popular only because they are girls
nostrich: that is a fact

this is nostrich’s theory. i wholeheartedly feel that this is a huge load of bullshit.

edit/more thoughts: what about popular female sellers on etsy? and popular posters of the craftster.org forum? and women who don’t blog but have a strong online presence? and what about all the ladies who are popular with a heavy female audience? and what about well established professional women with an online presence? (think: paula scher and the like)

what are you thoughts?

  1. equator answered: if that is at all true, i think it’s more to do with girls reading another girl’s blog and liking it because they share interests.
  2. playitbackward answered: Only when girls inhabit and succeed in a male domain are they worshiped.
  3. oneafter909 answered: ive been on message boards, (mostly guy ones like football and stuff) and the women there dont show pictures but are usually kinda worhsipped
  4. flamingocroquet answered: There’s no evidence of that and until their is it’s just a sexist thing to say. There are a lotta girls on the net and most aren’t popular.
  5. antiquarylady answered: If this theory were correct, then all girls on the internet would be popular, which is obviously not true.
  6. fwarg answered: I think it’s more apparent on youtube, ijustine, hotforwords even lisa nova. panacea81 and glowpinkstah are interesting counter examples
  7. gamerchick02 answered: +1 to the BS.
  8. amplexushoc answered: i agree with the theory for at least 50% of popular women on the internet.
  9. brilliantology answered: Depends on the definition of popular here, but interesting people are popular because they’re interesting, other maybe because they put out!
