I've had a certain amount of heartburn over the last couple of months over what I consider to be a ridiculous and ignorant stance taken by a few older white Somervell County males who I believe are lying about who runs this blog. I've pondered over what the fool would even lead them to spout this nonsense, especially since at least one of them knows better, and can only come to the conclusion that it's due to living in a deeply conservative, *red* area where women are not treated as full-fledged citizens with men. What's truly objectionable is that it's like these men are being thieves stealing my intellectual property and hard work and trying to attribute it to another man. Why? In the one case, I know for sure that the man knows better. Saying that I am not writing posts under my own screen name and with my own photo avatar is worse than insulting, it's dismissive, and treats me as if I am not capable and intelligent. Let me list why this is bulllchit and sexist.

• I have had this blog, Somervell County Salon for over 9 years.I started it as a way to talk politics. I did not start it as, say, a cooking blog. IT IS MINE!!!!!!
