I am pretty wrinkled about this week's Newsweek.
Here is an excerpt of my letter to the editors:
You, all of you that worked on this Newsweek article, really have some nerve. I am positive that you, as a whole, have irritated, angered, offended, bewildered, insulted and alienated some remarkable women who share their messages, visions, experiences, hopes and passions using on-line forums, blogs, social networks and websites. You need not search far to find truly exceptional women bloggers. Bloggers whose writing far surpasses your mediocre literary standard. These are women with visions, projects and causes that would benefit enormously with the mere mention of their blog or name in your article. You provide MILFs with the free press instead? Come on!
Of the 50 million blogs out there you, you found Yummy Mummies but could not find www.BlogHer.org and source some women bloggers worthy of your mention?

I LOVED IT!
Wow, you just proved to the world that an angry female is not a bitch but actually a very productive, eloquent and insightful addition to society. You really get the job done!
I hope you share their reply -- they HAVE to reply to that one!

God bless the whole world, no exceptions.
Many thanks
Dear Patti-
What an amazing compliment. Many, many thanks for your compliment and support. I will be sure to advise you as to Newsweek's response, if any.
I believe that we, as a consumer base, do not do enough to communicate to our service, media and product suppliers when we are disappointed or hurt by their offering. As a rule, women have a tendency to discuss disappointments, concerns and hurt with one another and not include the offender.
Newsweek will not be able to provide a better product if I am not willing to take the time to inform them that they can and SHOULD do better.
It is very nice to know you. I look forward to reading your material!
