A couple of months ago I wrote an entry relating to Santa’s “ho, ho, ho” thing and its banning in Sydney, which of course drifted into a tongue-in-cheek rant about feminism. Upon checking Technorati the other day, which is the dominant search engine and link tracker for blogs, I was surprised to find that this blog had already been discovered by a self-proclaimed feminist on the women-powered BlogHer.com. Though it may not have been utterly complimentary to me (and my last name was listed as “Caitlin,” something I’ve had to deal with all my life for whatever reason), I still feel proud about my post because, let’s be honest, the key to a good blog post is its ability to trigger healthy discussion. Anyway, you can read Suzanne’s entry, “Slut, Slut, Slut! Merry Xmas!,” on the BlogHer website. Thanks for the shout-out, Suzanne! And no offense was meant by my attempt at a humorous entry.

It doesn’t matter now, regardless.  The idea was shot down - it originally stemmed from the thought that blurting out “ho, ho, ho” had the potential to scare little kids - and Santa can keep up his old habits.
