Family Friendly Blogging

In my Women in Leadership class tonight we discussed how the future of the internet, specifically blogs, will help to motivate more women to stay involved in Politics. For those of you who are unaware, female participation in our political system is on the decline because of our system's lack of support for family friendly policy.

Blogging, and its decentralizing ability to change communication from a top down to a more parallel structure, has the power to greatly effect future political relations. As blogs and other forms of internet discussion become more prominent within communities, I think we will have the ability help decentralize some of the inherently masculine institutions in our society. Hence, we will have a greater ability to change to the status quo and increase feminine participation in our political systems.

NOTES TO PONDER: How else can the internet be utilized to advance family friendly policy?
