I agree with your points about art vs social media (or business). The term "writer" is loose around these parts . What is a writer - copywriter, sales, author, SEO, journalist, etc? Then again, when you read authors, as far back as Defoe, they would say journalists are not proper writers or artists, either. Imagine what they'd think of bloggers. Blogs are opinions, not balanced reportage. Wait, most journalists don't do balanced nowadays either.... Maybe academia is the last bastion. As a young female blogger, though, she must get her fair share of mansplaining and haters. If you put your whole life online, it's a risk (encouraged by the tech companies to provide more content than they can ever know they are sharing) and blocking is a way to feel safe. It's a fine line that is up for her interpretation. I'm glad it leads to this thoughtful post on broader issues. Thanks Benjamin.
