One of the better lessons from regular blogging is... you don't have to have an opinion on everything. Like say, a feminist who admits her love of wedding blogs... I could have an opinion, but why bother?
Or, consider Roman Polanski. Please. Don't ask me what I think... because I am studiously avoiding taking a position. At least for now. When people I admire and respect can lay out passionate points on both sides... I listen, and for the moment... I'm leaving it at that.
This is all kind of new to me... I like to think of it as some sort of growth, on my part. "Go in, guns blazing" used to be my default approach. Age, and a little experience, has made me realize it's okay to listen, and wait, and take it all in.
Jeralyn lays out the case for Free Roman. Ann Appelbaum offers points over at WaPo...
And Kate Harding takes them apart. As does Melissa over at Shakes. And feminists all over marvel at the defenders...
And for now... that's all I got.
