I Call Them My Two Taylors

[susankh4]

I love these women.... for different reasons. Love to have morning coffee with them. :donut:

Taylor Marsh and McCamy Taylor.

The first is a rather brash, "Randi Rhodes" type. (Well, maybe not THAT brash... but you get the idea.)

Probably only about 3/4 of what Ms. Marsh posts to her blog can truly be taken seriously. She is sort of a gem in the rough. Not afraid of her own obvious bias. She often sees what I see, and spins it to have legs... the way talk show hosts are prone to: http://www.taylormarsh.com/

This second Taylor, tho.... McCamy Taylor..... is a thoroughly polished jewel. She is writing a journal, here on D.U. that I suspect (and hope) will become a textbook study of how feminism intersected with politics during the 2008 primary season:

I "met" McCamy on the Democratic Underground and quickly realized that she was as good a writer as I could hope to meet anywhere in the blogosphere. Beyond that, her grasp of feminist mythology is exquisite. Her research is painstaking. Honestly, I wondered if she might actually be a Women's Studies professor somewhere... using a fictitious name???

Later I did a google search and found McCamy to be quite well established in the genre of Sci Fi. (Yippee! Now I will have someone to talk to Bill Keith about when I visit his home this month. I am sure he'll know McCamy's name... Bill, my Pittsburgh area friend, is also well established in the field of Sci Fi authorship.)

I have some of the most wonderful and intellectually challenging "friends" nowadays. Many of them on-line. What a blessing ... since my kids have all but written me off as hysterical. If this was the 1800's I think they'd have me committed. LOL.

Ah, but, hysteria is another feminist subject .... better left to McCamy's pen.

1. I like your comments on the Taylors.

I have a bunch of friends who won't read/post on DU but they look daily for a McCamy Taylor journal. She really is something.

My thought - she is a combo - a Women's Studies and journalism professor.
