Introducing our new guest blogger… Anne Onne
By Jess McCabe | 22 May 2008, 18:11
Regular readers will no-doubt recognise Anne Onne’s name, from her thoughtful, articulate and prolific participation in our comments section.
We’re really thrilled that Anne has agreed to guest blog for The F-Word for the next month. Keep an eye out for her posts. Some background info:
Anne Onne is a feminist (duh!) science student living in the capital, currently hoping that giving Boris a shovel will result in him digging himself into a huge hole. In between scowling at gendered advertising and reading the Daily Mail to increase her blood pressure, she can be found leaving rambling comments on feminist sites like The F-Word. Unfortunately, her passion for writing long rambling comments doesn’t extend to blog writing for the moment, but she consoles herself with small random acts of feminism and taking time to engage and educate trolls and, or at least point out the weakness of their arguments to lurkers.
She has an antagonistic streak she is unable to shake, so is almost as likely to disagree with other feminists as with trolls, but a bit of discussion is what it’s all about, isn’t it? She hopes to use her time guest blogging to learn more about feminism, and get even more discussion started. Or maybe just rant.

Have your say
In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.
- This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
- All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
- No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
- Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
- No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
- Be nice.

Aces! I know we've had our (respectful) disagreements over issues in the past, but I find Anne's comments extremely insightful, often very funny and usually there is a fair amount to agree with. So with that in mind, Anne I'm looking forward to your blogs with anticipation. Big thanks to the F word for recognising the talent.

Eey, Anne's comments have always been the ones to bring an important point to any debate around a post on the f-word, so it's good to see hir blogging.
Though by "living in the capital", I assume you mean the capital of England? >.
